Madurai TN Seshagopalan-M Chandrasekaran-Karaikudi R Mani- Kaddanuvariki (5/30/1981- reupload)

Live in Mysore (May 30th 1981- same day when PMI passed away) Madurai TN Seshagopalan- vocal Dr. M Chandrasekaran- violin Karaikudi R Mani- mridangam V Nagarajan- kanjira Since the kanjira artist is not Harishankar, I have reuploaded the track by using a pic of TNS-MC-KRM instead. A masterpiece led by TNS complemented by MC and taken to another level by KRM and the kanjira vidwan. When TNS was in his prime, one was dazzled by his open throat prowess, his brilliant scholarship and his out of the box approach; yet all three firmly contained the strict adherence to tradition. When MC is there, you are guaranteed a treat and KRM is at his blazing best during the thani (1:03:33). If someone knows who the kanjira player is, please let me know. It has to be a veteran not a newcomer who could keep up with the greats! Thanks to a great rasikA who had this recording for very long and shared. Let's enjoy this vintage piece together.
