[samaganam]

Is it music or god's blessing?

Is it a human or saraswati?

Is that a voice or veena?

Is that a radiance on her face or god's love?

[tuzganraj]

Wow. What an amazing pleasure and humbling experience to behold Ammaiyar's golden voice. It moves me deeply.

[sulochanansree]

My sincere appreciations to the uploader & and thanks (ten thousand times)

[Pallassana1]

Great Goddess Saraswathi in the form of Music Legand Srimati M.S.Subbalakshmi

and please, surely any musicians , please worship her in mind, or in front of her photos and remember her always when you sing. Surely the blessings of her will make you another Legand of Music.

shat koti dhanyawad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ericsahib]

I am a follower of Hindustani music but was encouraged to listen to MSS here and was stunned - what an amazing performance in the alapana - for me the joy of Malikarjun and brilliance of Kesarbai combined - remarkable.

[inder19852000]

You should also listen to Yesudasji´s carnactic songs. He is also stunning. We wake up each day listening to the song of MS amma from temple

[samaganam]

@inder19852000 did you listen to bahnumathi ramakrishna?she was a phenomenal singer!

[yembeeyes]

Please upload more songs of the Music Legend Smt. M.S.Subbulakshmi

[folopo2]

magic!

[drmanojsharma1411]

This is y most favorite song and raga , I have been hearing it for last 20 years, first by jesudas, and by many others? I have this on Ayanampatti Ganesh Jalatarangam also.

Navarasan, These Unity concert people( Andhra Sabha In Madras) , Mr. Chari or some one in T Nagar has the full recordings of Unit concert , can you put them too?

This seems to be Thiruvaiyyaru recording, I think DD ARchives have take it out so the other gentleman can take from DD Shop in any DD station

[Schubeedoobee]

superb... Indian Micro Tonality is just the most beautiful music in the world.

[ShriShubhashish]

Truly amazing! This kind of pure gold is missing in classical vocal scene today! Miss her so much! God bless her soul.

[kolluru100]

Fantastic! She was indeed an emodiment of Godess Saraswathi on earth! Such divinity in her singing! May you bless all of us from up there in the heavens..

[Mslatharam]

Extraordinary voice ! love it !

[csshrey]

OMG.. if this is not magic, then it does not exist.

[ramaraksha01]

Not to put down the violen but it does take far longer to master the veena and that's because it can produce far more diff sounds than most other instruments

[DrPriyaRajan]

Thanks for posting one of my fav', krithis and to listen to the golden voice of MS.

[panchamkauns]

Best music I have ever heard BTW!!!

[panchamkauns]

You carry the veena in your throat ... I understand how this can be a compliment, since the veena is after all divine. But a violin? :P

[dvraghu]

The violin or any other musical classical instrument is as divine as veena, after all, the way they produce the nada is different

[iwanurreply]

Her guru Semmangudi's style is clearly reflected in her singing!!

Awesome!

[sashikumarv]

I never saw this connection when I heard any of MS's songs. But after I read your comment, I see quite some connection in this song.

[smuthuvelu]

my pranams to the legendary

and to technology in bringing and upkeeping.. simply suberb and hearing it out from the legendary MS

[shathrudoshakarakan]

heavenly feel..goddessss

[5kallu]

What a marvolous & captivating Voice! Just Superb! She is incarnation of Music Saraswathi.

[chandru80in]

This is blissful. Thanks to technology and rasikas like Navarasan, my sanity is under control.

I read somewhere that during M. S' childhood a great doyen of carnatic music commented "child, you carry the veena in your throat". I think she also carries a well-tuned violin in her throat. Listen to her voice merge with the violin at 3:19 and again at 3:33. I really am kickin myself for attending just the thukkada sections of concerts. This is mesmerizing from lack of better words.

[rogkeista]

Exquisite. It's a privilege to see and hear this. Heaven.

[prashanth1405]

great stuff...my favourite ragam...excellent exposition of kharaharapriya...and one of my favourite krithis...

[aes7621]

MS, Commander of carnatic music

[asemanasa]

yeah this rocks!

[agnividhyut]

[palasseri]

Navarasan,

Do you have the remaining of this particular concert...I wish I could listen to that...

[navarasan]

Unfortunately not :(

[pitquote]

@palasseri

You can contact Mr Sundarrajan (Nick name as Uppili) who is a cine singer (who is also son of Kandadevi Alagirisamy) now i do not know where he is. But he was residing in Ganapathi colony near Luz corner few years before. He must be having since he has large volume of his father performance. All the best

[palasseri]

A great rendition by MS. Thanks navarasan. DO you have any by Madurai Mani ?

[great0the]

ms amma carnatic music needs your blessings

[panchamkauns]

I can't stop watching this.

In my iTunes, I have "Carnatic instrumental" sorted by instrument, "Carnatic vocal: male" and "Carnatic vocal: female". Subbulakshmi is sorted as "Carnatic vocal: divine".

[sumeshkanayi]

Ohhh God..

Legend......

Thanks a lot For uploading this...

[Vidyaganapathy]

The perfect concert by all means !!

[chandru80in]

Listening to it at 1:30 in the night.... makes you forget oneself. I am in perfect unison with the cosmic consciousness (and I write this comment still reeling under the after effects of the elation).

[panchamkauns]

Ye Gods!!

[rayraven99]

Navarasan,

Very much appreciated your generous contributions.

Admire your taste as I do share your views.

Cheers

[navarasan]

Thanks rayraven99 :)

[rayraven99]

Pleasure is all mine

[mrajg]

MS is the divine incarnation..goddess Sarswati herself..

Many thanks for posting..

[batfancy]

Just stunning- thanks for posting it. I only saw her perform once- an unannounced appearance at the little Thyagaraja Samajam in Chennai- but I will never forget it.

[RamLakshmanan]

Indeed this is the best rendering of this krithi by anyone! It's truly a masterpiece - a great confluence of M.S.'s melody, majesty, and brilliance, so ably supported by Sri Alagiriswami's violin, and impeccable layam of Guruvayoor Sri Dorai! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for posting this video.

[shineysurya]

Words fail to describe the ecstacy generated by her great music till the end of eternity. Tks for posting such a masterpiece.

[VISWANAS]

This is a fantastic Kharaharapriya. Truly an all time Great. We are blessed to have had such a Great Singer in our midst. None can equal this except Semmangudi perhaps..

[RamanadhaReddy]

This is the first time I ever get to "see" the legend singing. Thank you.

[pushpanjali]

A voice like hers can only leave you speechless. Incredible.

[ak2xi]

Late legend still alive in the hearts of music lovers like me. Good post . Thanks alot.

[tssriram1948]

today i listened mss 8 mts. vocal. i would like to listen her kutchery always. i request you to broadcast atleast one hr kutchery .

thank you t.s.sriram 21.6.2007

[sriramnagi]

wonderful singer and a good clip of her. thanks for posting it.

[pvatham]

This is probably one of the best renditions of karahapriya I have heard alongside the legendary ones of Shri.Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer!! Great! Thanks to both Mr.Navarasan and Jayaram!!If you guys have a keeravani rendition it would be super!!

[snowdnb]

NAMO NAMA MATAJI !!!

FANTASTIC !!!

[reachbolla]

It cannot be any better.

[sury39]

thanks so much for this video clip each second is enjoyable

suryanarayanan, paris

[flutterby108]

I have long loved the voice of M. S. Subbulakshmi. This is the first time I've ever "seen" her sing! How amazing! Thanks

[aditnarayan]

Such a fast briga-laced alapanai! She truly can handle Kharaharapriya. I particularly love her rendition of Thodi. Does anyone have MS ammas Karthikeya?

[VISWANAS]

There is a 1958 Todi sung by her , audio , not video. Available in AIR Archives. The Kartikeya sung by her is too good!

[vyshms]

it is 1962 AIR concert with Sunderesha Iyer on voilin ..

[suvarchas1]

It was not in 1962 but 1984 at Thiagaraja Aradhana at Tiruvaiarru

[suvarchas1]

It was in 1984 at Tiruvairru aradhana and not in AIR studios

[aditnarayan]

The upper shadhjam is held flawlessly! And her exploration of the raga is very expansive. Shabaash navarasan saar!

[navarasan]

you're welcome adit, the clips are courtesy of a generous R. Jayaram.

[Hidudoaries]

hey...cud u plz upload her videos when she was younger.....or if u dont have the video.....plz can u just putt on her audios???.......u can leave the screen black or just with 1 pic.......plplzplplz do u have her songs sung in her younger days??????

[vkmahi]

ur spellings are full of flaws anyway....she is a kind of musician that no one can comment on....

[coolcrave]

fantastic struthi suddham whenever the shadjam is held ..the voice it so divine..thanks for sharing bro
