Sangeetha Kalanidhi Sri Sanjay Subrahmanyan felicitated by Prince Rama Varma

Delightful speech made by Prince Rama Varma, felicitating Vidwan Sri Sanjay Subrahmanyan when he was awarded the Sangeetha Kalanidhi by the Madras Music Academy on January 1, 2016.
Though I just uploaded it, I know that I am going to spend the rest of the evening listening to it, again and again! The people gathered there were So lucky to have witnessed this, Live! Varmaji is so frank and forthright and utterly disarming.

Only Prince can speak like this! Totally honest and true to himself and without changing his normal, light hearted style, even if it is such a big stage and such an important occasion. I attend all the concerts at the Swathi Sangeethotsavam at Kuthiramalika Palace and always reach in time, just to listen to his introductions! The friendship and mutual respect between Sanjay Sir and Prince is very beautiful and there is a lot that others could learn from this. God bless them both.

What a marvellous speech by the Prince. He is an extraordinary speaker combining humour, seriousness, knowledge of subject and perfect delivery. Sri Sanjay is indeed an epitome of hard work and the best example for all aspirants of music.

Such a refreshing change from the usual award functions! So many things are just so right with this video that it would be hard to list them all in a comment here. Hearty congratulations to Sri Sanjay for his award and for having astutely chosen Varmaji of all people, to speak about him.
