Omg TNS is awesome.The violinist looks bewildered!!!!! Can anyone else sing a better Hindolam in 1 minute and 30 seconds?????? Not for a hundered years!!!!
As one with limited knowledge of Carnatic music, but nevertheless enjoys it, I was captivated by Sri TNS's alapana (?) of Hindolam. I am not sure how many musicians can do this! Can somebody post the whole alapana of Hindolam?
I think a lot of the comments about the speed being a sacrifice to tonal quality seems to be leaving out a rather important detail -- that this isn't an entire alapana expansion, but a small excerpt cut from somewhere in the middle. We don't exactly know what the rest of it sounded like, and generally speaking, interludes of vocal gymnastics like this are usually led up to gradually from a pretty basic beginning point among several more clever phrases here and there. I'll admit that TNS can tend towards showboating, but bite our tongues that we might ever actually use our brains to recognize the significance of context. This statement is fully intended to hurt feelings because you damn well deserve it if this admonishment even remotely applies to you.
Im amazed by the way he can seamlessly do the brigas. A very nice alapana, but like someone said it came at a cost. 0:36 has an apaswara, Ni3 (?). Awesome max, otherwise.
The vocal power of TNS and his virtuosity are unquestionable. But sometimes he gets carried away. I remember an otherwise splendid kutcheri in Cochin (circa 1994) wherein something snapped and his swara rendition in Todi trangressed into another raga! But, lest we forget, some strangeness in the proportion is often characteristic of genius and along with BMK, TNS is a true musical genius of our times.
and your "assessment" of TNS's music and my knowledge couldn't have made me care any less.. I have listened to a lot of MDR's renditions- I am in agreement with you that he is great. People who criticize TNS's way of singing as being complex are simply those who are speaking out of jealousy boss.. before doing that.. please make a self assessment of your own self to see if you can even identify the basic math (kanakku) in any of his RTP's.. or do you even know wat an RTP is?
I don't think your judgement of my "knowledge" is of any concern to anyone nor is it of any concern to me in particular. That being said, there is complexity in simplicity. What is complex isn't necessarily what is good. If you dont understand this, you should listen to MD Ramanathan. People that claim to be "knowledgeable" are the ones who struggle to understand music for what it is, a subjective art, open to interpretation.
@Sangeetha216: You said: >>>they dont understand that music has to surpass techniques and should feel 'nice' to the ears "Music should feel 'nice' to whose ears", eh? Your ears?? Is there a music (or even one song) in the world that is enjoyable to every one on this this planet? It all depends on the artist's line of expertise, skills and most importantly *the listeners level of knowledge*. This is true with any art. If you dont know anything about this raaga and its nuances you have no business to post your comment here. Tom, Dick and Harry should not comment on Einstein's theories.
yes.. probably true.. it wont mean a thing to you anyways if you dont understand it.. how can one appreciate certain things if he is totally ignorant.. applies in your case!
In Hindustani, the taans in Malkauns would have been rendered with greater beauty. The South does not care for beauty or shringaram and is just technical. vs gopal

when speed wins, melody is lost.this statement is not meant to hurt anyones feelings.

I agree with sramkris70...however, TNS sometimes almost never cares about proper diction when he sings.
Holly fuck

oh my gosh
