Very beautiful Bhairavi, only he could sing like that at this age, the purity of the raga and raga bhava, the strength he carries, the way he feels the raga , no doubt he is matchless. At 12:20 he gave a smile and one could see the pride he takes in singing a flawless Alapane (for that long). The quality of recording is poor though. Thank you for posting his muisc.

'For tradition, turn to nedunuri'. This is what elders say. I really follow him. I improved a lot too. I thank him very much though he is not my direct guru, he is my maanasika guru. My pranamam to such a music lord.

My God! When Nedunuri hits his stride, it is like 24k pure gold compared to adulterated amalgams from others.
Colossus who effortlessly strides into kritis and alapanas like a king assuming his rightful simhasana.
No affectation, no idiosyncrasies, no faking tone, no wasted notes, no self-gratifying meanderings, no bhedas of any kind!
All business!
Pure shastriya sangeetam.

Thanks so much for posting, but there seems to be so much of noise. I believe such recordings are to be preserve and we have to our best to present them without much distortion. Nedunuri was in full form just like Sachin Tendulkar!
