In fact GNB used to sing 2 or 3 songs with raga elaborately in the 1940s, especially Pakkala Nilapadi. He has also sung Kharahara priya as RTP in both Perambur Sangitha Sabha and Krishna Gana Sabha. Unfortunately, the recordings of these concerts are not available .
Brighas are literally peppered all over the place, small and long. And with unbelievable ease and weight.
Record any GNB, slow it down to 50% or 30% and you'll see the intricate detailing and fine modulations and gamakas in the brighas which you'd otherwise miss at high speed.
His voice just loves to go fast and is literally lives in the medium-superfast regime.
His ability to bring out the colours and dimensions of a raga is sheer genius.
GNB: A LEGEND. Just like Saint Thyagarajar- an avatar, there are a few
in recent times- 20th-Century- M.S and G.N.B may be classified as such.

2 minutes to showcase - talent, raga, feeling. And all superbly done. Now you have 2 months to make a song and no one can even come close.

The 'mayannngina' at 1:41 is surreal... don't think anyone else can sing that.
