Heavenly voice. Indeed everyone must die at some time or other. But her soul seems to be hovering over the Holy Tirumalai Hills for her enchanting melodious voice reverberates every day. And in the silence of night or early mornings, her voice takes us literally closer to Divinity

[XchocomonsterX]

great - especially to hear this song in her voice - i love it. usha

[chandru80in]

Astounding. 2:26 is especially a treat.

[86peace08]

why do u divide her in carnatic,bharatratna,indian etc

she was a blessed soul

i would have loved equally her even if i were an alien from Mars

[vyshms]

this is to whoever who think that "nothing has been lost" after ammas demise ..

[vinayabhushanrao]

You have the best collection.Classic.

[Manoham]

This is divine music

[suchandradasi]

Is MS Subbulakshmi still alive? In this video she looks old, but still her voice is powerful!

[brilliant02]

No, Unfortunately she passed away 3 years ago leaving a big void in the music world and her rasikas in tears.

[premanandthirumal]

@brilliant02 its been 3 years for ur comment too

[knataka]

What a gracefull presentation of Thyagaraja's Kriti in Karnataka Sangeeta. Age is no limit for talent.

[ekbaarphir]

can someone tell me who is the lady who is giving back up vocals?

[brilliant02]

Back up vocal given by Gowri Ramnarayanan - grand niece of MS

[VISWANAS]

Not many know that this was the LAST CONCERT of MS. She was 81 years old. Surely well past her Prime as far as her Voice is concerned. But look at the BHAVA..When she sings Rama Nama Mane and moves to the upper Shadja, yes , Lord Rama would have surely come to Bhooloka to listen!

[CredereAude]

The specialty of Smt. Subbulakshmi's music was always her incredible ability to convey bhava. A case in point is the rendering of Pakkala Nilabadi from a Thyagaraja Aradhana of a long time ago, also found on YouTube. In that particular piece, the Kharaharapriya raga vistara and the neraval, for which "Tanuvuce vandana" is taken, and the cittaswaras that follow are so very brilliant. Her death was a very great loss.

[suchandradasi]

When did she die? But I think nothing is lost!

[vyshms]

looks like u dnt know wat good music is .. very sad !

[suchandradasi]

I love her music. Don't you know that everyone must die? But it was no loss in her case, because she left her treasures for all to hear. She didn't leave us empty handed! Her life was not in vain! There is eternal gain!

[rkmhptr]

very well said

[rodoula1]

fabulous!

[navarasan]

Is it just me or did the beginning not sound like hamsanAdam?

[ShootMyMonkey]

I've heard various people argue whether hamsanAdam has a dha in the avArohanam. There are a lot of popular renditions of Bantureeti and Kalyaana Rama that use the dha, but some people disagree that there is a dha and it's an artifact of the gamaka. If you listen to Kalyanaraman's Bantureeti, he starts the same -- dropping straight to pa.

[jodesai]

The greatest among the great...such voice and devotion an exemplary life

[kishorepalle]

Asusual for Smt. MS., Amazing grace in rendering the Hamsanaadham... However, as stupid as it may sound coming from an ameteur like me, I feel that somehow the start of the keerthana was not so appealing & not so divine like MS. But the end and the swara kalpana rocked just shut me up.

[kakikoochi]

best the best !
