My mother Smt veenai Ranganayaki Rajagopalan who passed away few days back was brought up by Shri Sambasiva iyer as his own daughter from the age of 2 and taught Veena by him.Listening to this priceless music brought my mother's memories back to me with tears.It is needless to say my mother followed her Guru in Veena playing in all aspects of perfect Karaikudi style .Thanks to Shri Asokan for this immortal piece.Shankar
I discovered few more recordings of Shri Sambasiva Iyer, in some of them I could hear a female voice singing along with the veena. Could be Smt.Ranganayaki Rajagopalan?
@@vintageaudio54 What an awesome performance by this stalwart. His granddaughter SMT Rajeshwari Padmanabhan (who was my guru) was also his student then. She used to sing along with him while playing the veena. Feel so blessed to listen to the performance..thank you for sharing the video. Please share more of his music. Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
I should say thanks to God and to the digital world. Because at least now I m listening to VIDWAN SRI SRI KSI VEENA MELODY💐🙏🏻 and reaching to state of serenity and Fulfillment. Thanks for treasuring the melody and sharing to vena(music) lovers❤💐🙏🏻
Perhaps the most popular and vibrant composition in Hindolam done full justice by the late Mandolin wizard ! I clearly recall the first concert I attended of the little maestro decades ago at Shanmukhananda Hall, Mumbai , when he stunned the audience with his precocious mastery over an instrument which came as a novelty to instrumental rasikas then, as also with his incredible musical prowess. True to high expectations and raving prophecies, he did rise to dizzying heights enthralling audiences globally in the course of a sadly truncated career and life-span. Perhaps the best barometer of his meteoric ascent and worldwide recognition was the the invitation he received to perform at the prestigious Olympics Inauguration fairly early in his career ! May his soul rest in peace.
Priceless gem ; Emperor among Vainikas. The great doyen was very close to my father , Dr. V. Raghavan for whom the Karaikkudi Bani was the final word in Veena technique. Pranams to that great Saampradaayik Maestro🙏💐🙏
Such an superb RTP in Thodi ! The thanam in particular was awesome vintage fare. All that one had heard about this peerless Maestro could not but have been an understatement. Such posts are indeed great services rendered to our musical heritage ! Kudos and thanks.
Thank you very much sir. Very few people might know about this veena great. I was lucky enough to attend his performance in my school days.only once. He has used special coiled string (like the bass string in Guitar ) for first two strings in his veena. Regards.
breath taking and mesmerising , this grandeur is lost forever. present day vainikas with over amplification and sound modulations and no depth and yes , the advent of cinema songs on veena has robbed it of its sanctity
Thanks So much for this share. I have heard about Thatha so much from my Guru Smt. Rajeshwari Padhmanabhan. In every class she would share one or the other experiences while her practices with Thatha. That will be truly motivating us for the sadhanas / practice. I am truly blessed to listen to his Veena recital,of the most popular Thodi raga. Please do share more of his recordings. Thank you once again.
Namaste Raju Ashokan ji, my guru Karaikudi Subramanian sir heard this today and thanks you for posting this fantastic and priceless recording. Whatever is there of his grand father's recordings are only AIR and in circulation with many. He says Ranganayaki Rajagopalan and Rajeswari Padmanabhan have also played here as you can hear three veenas. Is this an AIR recording?
My guru made two videos as a tribute to Ranganayaki Rajagopalan after she recently passed away. This recording has come at the right time as a tribute to all three of them. He thanks you again and is very great full to be able to listen to this recording. I will post this link on his page and write about this.
Namaste Mr ashokan thanks for posting this great artists piece.long back I heard one AIR national programme dedicated to sri sambasiva iyer.can you try to get that and any other recordings of this legend and post them?
I discovered few more recordings of Shri Sambasiva Iyer, in some of them I could hear a female voice singing along with the veena. Please send me your email address.
Karaikudi Sambasiva Iyer is the greatest Veena player of all times surpassed only by his brother Subbarama Iyer known as Iyen !! What an I incredible rendition of Todi ragam tanam and Pallavi. Amazing raga and tala sudham Simply divine Million thanks to Sri Raju Ashokan 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Balasubramanian Swaminathan
