What style!! He didn't have a voice which can be instantly appreciated by one and all. But he had the genius to convert it to a strength and make it look and feel great for lovers of Carnatic by providing unique style. One Carnatic music appreciations skills grow in you, MDR is a just so awesome.
Sri M.D.Ramanathan is a phenomenon. A divine gift to the Music fraternity. Looks like he only sings to God and not for others. He digs out the complete essence of a raaga during his rendition. We are blessed to be living when he lived. Great soul. You can't have one more. His Reethigowla rendition of Paripalaya is the best I have heared. superb. Takes you to trance. Thank God.

I have heard him in Kalakshetra - too young to appreciate. Later heard this song on AIR where he elaborated the ragam. I have been searching for the same rendition with no luck. Great voice and talent.
the only memory I have of Saramathi is MDRs this very rendition that I used to listen early on iin the late 80's (god I already that old) borrowing tapes from Balaji. Pity I never dubbed too much those days.
@prasadvasan23 ur comment only goes to show how well u can identify accompanist styles. the violin is TNK and the mridangam is none other than the living legend Dr. T.K.Murthy! and this is a 200% guaranteed fact!!
TRULY HE HAS SUNK IN THE GOD WHILE RENDERING THIS KRITHI.HOW MANY CAN SING IN BASE VOICE. THE VOICE PULLS YOU IN TO DIVINITY

Looks like on violin it surely Sri Lalgudi Jayaraman and Mridangam should be Sri Palghat Mani Iyer.

Wow, he squeezes very ounce of juice out of the Saramathi. Simply stupendous manodharma music.
