As once the great Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer said there are 3 Musicians in the Godly level. They are in a different league and their skills are unparalleled. They are T. R mahalingam (Flute), Palghat Mani Iyer (Mrudangam) and Rajaratnam Pillai (Nadaswaram).
I am a disciple of the Great Sri umayalpuram Sivaraman Sir and I love my master and acknowledge his greatness but to me always Palghat Mani Iyer will be the greatest ever human being to have played Mrudangam. He can just make it talk. When he plays its like a Lion roaring
What a manodharma! I have attended his performances on consecutive days for different singers. For the same taalam his thani will not be repetitive. It was always fresh. Real genius.
The Greatest mridangam exponent ever . what an imagination . one and only PMI , unparelled genius . till date no one has been able to reach his standards.
With my Headset, at many places, I actually heard A Single Healthy Lion Roaring Softly, Politely and Energitically, with All its might at times showing to this world that he is The King of All Times and Places... That's the way PMI Mama have had his Illustrious career which surpassed All the Standards of Percussion instruments...😀🥰😍😇
Deiveegam. Mahavidwan Palghat Mani Iyer is Nandikeswara avatharam. The tonal quality, the precision and clarity is incomparable. One should also bear in mind the quality of the recording equipments which were available those days. 🙏🙏
I came after shri.Trilok Gurtu mentioned the great shri Palghat Mani Iyers influence and teachings. Groove and make complex thing look simple and simple thing complex ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mrudangam means the only man born to play this rhythm instrument during ancient era and palaghat Mani iyer means mrudangam. Violinist Suresh padmanabhan
I told it from his point of view. He always compared it with Pillaiwaal's gumki. And never used to get satisfied by his own gumki after listening to Pillaiwaal.
Also how humble these 2 giants, Mani sir liked Pillaival’s ghumki and pazhani sir admired mani sir’s mridangam so much that he played khanjari with him.
I think his koncept of playing ist like chanda tipe....mor fast but melodik.....and gumki ist playd lik nadam playing..nadam gumki..not gust sound of gumki.....if he whonted he kud play 1 clas gumky like everithing else in his playing....dis is whery rare gud rekording of mridhangam ....Palkhad mani swami forewher...sory for my english whrithing.....i just whrite ehotm my theacher Late Mavelikaram vellukkuty nair mridhangam legend and sisyan of Palkghat many iyer..i studud Mridhangam from him ...and i lived in his home ..like a gurukulam....coming from Serbia ..i whos listening meny storis about mani karnatik musicion ....
@@athreyaa The Korvai is very much Edam-Edam, not Samam- Edam. In Chatusra Nadai, the Korvai is 32, occupying 8 beats. So wen played 3 times in chatusra nadai, it becomes 32x3=96. When it is Played thrice in Thisram, it comes to 16 beats, with 6 per beat, i.e., 16x6=96. As it occupies 16 beats in thisram, in Adhi thalam it can only be Edam-Edam and not Samam-Edam. There is no 96+6=102, its always 96 (16x6.). Even the mohra is a normal chatusra jaathi mohra for 32 beats, that was played for edam-edam.
It's the mic from AIR, they still use these big mics. The picture has no connection to the recording, has been used just for representational purposes. This is from a concert of Alathur Brothers.
Those first 14 seconds is like a dream...what a man PMI was. The greatest musician ever in any world.
Absolutely!
Sathyam..... Greatest musician ever to human knowledge

True. The treasure of aesthetics.

Hello Aditya Sir. May i know where are you located?? Would like to learn mridangam
What a manodharma!
I have attended his performances on consecutive days for different singers.
For the same taalam his thani will not be repetitive. It was always fresh.

Thundering!!
Oh my god .
Even with modern day mikes in place ,this impact is missing !
💯 Fact
🙏🙏🙏🙏
And mani swami accepted the fact that he couldn't play the gumki like pazhani did.
This is one of many examples that he could play gumki pretty well.
Pretty well is an understatement.
I told it from his point of view. He always compared it with Pillaiwaal's gumki. And never used to get satisfied by his own gumki after listening to Pillaiwaal.
Mani Iyer played gumukki very well... But couldn't match to Pazhani's gumukkis.
Also how humble these 2 giants, Mani sir liked Pillaival’s ghumki and pazhani sir admired mani sir’s mridangam so much that he played khanjari with him.
I think his koncept of playing ist like chanda tipe....mor fast but melodik.....and gumki ist playd lik nadam playing..nadam gumki..not gust sound of gumki.....if he whonted he kud play 1 clas gumky like everithing else in his playing....dis is whery rare gud rekording of mridhangam ....Palkhad mani swami forewher...sory for my english whrithing.....i just whrite ehotm my theacher Late Mavelikaram vellukkuty nair mridhangam legend and sisyan of Palkghat many iyer..i studud Mridhangam from him ...and i lived in his home ..like a gurukulam....coming from Serbia ..i whos listening meny storis about mani karnatik musicion ....
Please send the full video or audio recording if possible...
Is that a kappi or kutchi? Whatever it is awesome 🙏♥️
Surely Kappi
Kappi ...

The End Korvai, 3 times in 2 avardhanams is a Revealation., 😃😍🥰
It is in rendu kalai. So 3 times in one avardhanam. Samam to Edam 😀😍😍
Rishi Manoharan yeah - 102 hence 96+6 thus reaching Edam
Rishi Manoharan - Rasika who loves Mridangam and Palghat Mani Iyer more than anything.
Rishi Manoharan I play the flute and learnt from the Maths Wizard Pallavi Venkatarama Iyer. So I understand a bit of Musical Maths 😀😀

Why is the mic soo big?
By the way it’s a good recording with amazing audio for that time
It's the mic from AIR, they still use these big mics. The picture has no connection to the recording, has been used just for representational purposes. This is from a concert of Alathur Brothers.
They used German surround sound models in concert recordings. 🙏
From 1:29th minute tune(sruthi) changes. Why?
It happens while extracting the audio from the tapes.
