Lalgudi Jayaraman Violin Solo with Umayalpuram K Sivaraman - 1968 l Wedding Concert

Lalgudi Jayaraman Violin Solo with Umayalpuram K Sivaraman - 1968 l Wedding Concert
We are happy to share with you the audio recording of a wedding reception concert by Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman, performed in Trivandrum on 24th October 1968. Whether it was a sabha concert or a wedding concert, Lalgudi always believed in giving his best. Here he plays solo with Maestro Sri Umayalapuram Sivaraman on the mridangam. A sumptuous 2.45 hour long concert with a scintillating Karaharapriya and an elaborate Kambhoji followed by tanam, pallavi and ragamalikai. The signature sweet tone of Lalgudi’s violin and Sivaraman’s musical mridangam are things to be experienced and cannot be described in words. Listening to the recording, one understands how the wedding concerts those days had an attentive audience of avid music lovers. Music concerts and mangala vadhyam were an important and integral part of weddings. Wedding invitees eagerly looked forward to the reception concert and the opportunity to meet and interact with the artists. Many of Lalgudi’s devout fans followed him to these reception concerts uninvited, only to listen to him, and would leave soon after the last song before they could be noticed. It is interesting to note that Sri Tambura Krishnan, a well known tambura artist of yesteryear, travelled with Sri Lalgudi to play the tambura for him. We thank Sri R. Subramonian and family of Trivandrum for preserving and sharing with us this recording and the photo taken on the occasion.

Amazing to see the improvisation in Bantureethi Kolu by Lalgudi Sir especially in the charanam word Rama Nama Mane. Blessed to hear the honey sweet tone of Lalgudi Sir and the Sogusa Vassikara Umayalpuram Sir on the Mridangam who just takes the Kutcheri to another level. While playing Maaye, Lalgudi Sir from his experience for accompanying Madurai Mani Iyervaal in several concert's, is playing just the way Mani Iyervaal would sing this keerthanam. And as Umayalpuram Sir has also played for Mani Iyervaal, Umayalpuram Sir also plays the same way he plays for Iyervaal.

The entire concert list is like a tribute to Madurai Mani Iyer as that was the year MMI had passed away and the date of the concert was coinciding closely with MMI's birthday.

A superb concert by Sri LGJ. His adherence to saahitya is incomparable considering other instrumentalists. Thank you for bringing us this rarely heard concert.
Your description of the concert and its venue are enlightening.
Can you kindly add “maadhava maamava deva” in Neelambari as the piece right after the RTP in Kaambhoji? Thanks

[@ganeshr1075]

Do upload if you have any more concerts of yesteryear’s legends
