Shruthi Satellite Radio also broadcasted an Interview with Sri Nedunuri Gaaru in which he paid reverence to his guru Dr Pinakapani and few songs sung by his guru was broadcasted. He was mentioning the methodology used by Dr Pinakapani in his teaching. He also mentioned the couple of books authored by Dr Pinakapani on Carnatic Music. He vividly remembered his Music academy concert in an afternoon( year ??) in which Stawarts like Semmangudi, Lalgudi and others were present and at the end of the concert Lalgudi complimented his singing & volunteered to accompany in his concerts.................There began a long association Nedunuri/lalgudi/Palghat Raghu/ U Shivaraman/ V Ramabhadran in concert after concert. He was immensely thanking these accompanists for the Success of his concerts. He was heard mentioning , when these artists accompany the Vocalist...........................the concert is bound to be a success. Lalgudi's Asavei varnam and couple of Lalgudi's thillanas, he was mentioning that he has sung them. Annapurne Vishalakshi( sama) was broadcasted sung by Nedunuri. He also sang sogasu jUda tharama in Kannada Gowla and demonstrated number of sangathis which will go well with the lyrics of the song as composed by Saint Thyagaraja.

Nedunuri Sri Krishnamurthy felicitated.
Do not understand this quote from the article:
Warranting recognition of his ability with a paradigmatically evolved diction of his own, he opted to be the president of the annual conference of the renowned Madras Music Academy in 1991, and received the title Sangeetha Kalanidhi that goes with it.
How does one 'opt' to be president of the MMA?

I suppose they mean he accepted the SK?
I don't even understand the first part of that sentence...

I agree with Bilahari. Perhaps the writer meant "accepted"
Why dont they use a simpler style of writing which can convey the message ?

I hope the writer did not mean that as he was elected the president , hence he was given the sangeetha kalAnidhi, it is the other way around, the cause is SK and the effect is President.

This is typical of some of the Indian writing in English - a lot of unnecessary and stilted phrases and idioms in place of simple English.
(And 'paradigm' seems to be most-overused - and abused - word of late!)

True. I don't even know what it means! (ok... I'll ask google) It is beloved of the people who speak a certain kind of lingo. I was in a bookshop yesterday, and noticed a book called "Actualising your Desires" (or something very similar) --- Couldn't they have just called it Getting what you want?.

Rasikas, above all perhaps, know that The Hindu makes mistakes, and that some of the flowery language used in concert reviews can be quite ridiculous --- but it still stands out as an English-Language newspaper. My other daily English paper is way behind, and very often reads as if it was badly translated from its local-language sister publication. Only yesterday I advised a young girl who is just starting her English-medium college days to read The Hindu whenever she can, as a way of improving her English.

You have posted the song in 'Vaggeyakkara' thread. I have given therein the lyrics as understood by me after listening to the video. I have all the more reason to believe that this is not a tyAgarAja kRti. http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic. ... 34#p188934

There are many excellent concerts of Sri Nedunuri in Sangeethapriya, uploaded by by Sri KS Jaishankar:

For example:
http://www.sangeethamshare.org/ksj/Nedu ... yderabad-/

Question: There is no info about the accompanists. Listen to item #6 ksheenamai-mukhAri. Such a spirited kanjira acompaniment. Any idea who it is?

Select renderings by Nedunuri Krishnamurthy requested

Post by thenpaanan »

Dear Rasikas

I would like to know if anyone has a rendering by Nedunurigaru of any of the following:

1. mOhanarAmA mukhajitasOmA (mOhanam)
2. teratIyagarAda (gaulipantu)
3. chakkani rAjamArgamu undaga (kharaharapriyA)
4. swara rAga sudhArasa (SankarAbharaNam)

I am in the process of learning these kritis and I would like to have renditions by this unique vidwAn as benchmarks. A simple search of this topic did not uncover any mention of these kritis nor were they available on sangeethamshare.

Thanks in advance

Thanks, arunsri. Clearly, my search on sangeethapriya was slipshod. I am very pleased to have these renderings pointed out to me. Of course I would dearly love to get my hands on a rendering by NK of the other two kritis, mohanarama in particular. In my opinion, NK has a unique inside track on Mohanam.

Thanks again,
thenpaanan

Nedunuri Krishnamurthy was born 10 October 1927
in Pithapuram, East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh to Rama Murthy Panthulu and Vijayalakshmi.
He was under influence of his mother who sang Ashtapadis, Tarangas and the Adhyatma Ramayana kritis. She had a great influence on him while growing up.
He joined the Maharaja’s Music College at Vizianagaram in the year 1940 and received initial training in Violin and Vocal from the Dwaram Narasinga Rao Naidu. In 1949, he was influenced by carnatic vocalist, Sripada Pinakapani, and under his guidance developed his style of music.
Nedunuri Krishnamurthy worked as Principal of S.V.College of Music and Dance, Tirupati; M.R.Government College of Music and Dance, Vizianagaram; Government College of Music and Dance, Secunderabad; and retired as Principal of G.V.R Government College of Music and Dance, Vijayawada in 1985.
Was awared prestigious title of “Sangeeta Kalanidhi” in the year 1991…
Aesthetic grace, excellent style, technical elegance, rhythmic accuracy and captivating melody are the essential qualities of South Indian Classical Music.
Sangita Kalanidhi Nedunuri Krishnamurthy is the embodiment of all these aspects. It is no wonder that he is one of the most popular Carnatic vocalists of our times, charming rasika(s) old and young, with his mellifluous, bhava-laden music. Nedunuri has worked relentlessly in blending together the art and science of music, thereby appealing even to a modern rasika, with traditional classical music. Thyagaraja shines as the brightest star in the firmament of his wide repertoire. His foremost contribution is the setting to tune of 108 compositions of Annamacharya, the 15th century saint-poet of Andhra Pradesh. ....
A concert in his memory..

My heartfelt condolences to his family. On several occasions, I listened to him live in concerts in Tirupati and Visakhapatnam. I still remember visiting him at his home in MVP colony, Visakhapatnam when I was an engineering student at Andhra University a few years ago, when my Guru sent me and a few other music students to his home, as Sri Nedunuri wanted to start teaching Sri Narayana Theertha Tharangams to everyone interested. He always followed the traditions set by his predecessors when it comes to Classical music. May his soul rest in peace.

What a vidwan! He could have lived as long as his guru did...
His rich tradition, repertoire, lively presentation and stage presence cannot be easily forgotten. With all his traditional approach, he had his own style and flair.

Condolences to his family and his students.

I was fortunate to listen to his maiden concert at navaratri mandapam, Trivandrum during the eighties (IIMC MC on Violin and VR on mridanga)
He sang an exquisite Mohanakalyani (seve srikaantam). the main suite Natakurinji was dealt with in great detail true to the traditions .
He also rendered a Sloka from Bhakti Manjari and I still remember the Dhanyasi (a 'made for Nedunuri' raga!)

Above all an 'Aachaaraseelan'. Pranaams!

I am bit allergic to Brigga oriented music for obvious reasons. But listening to Shri Nedanuri Krishnamurthy Sir, Shanmugapriya RTP I feel Brigga with good Raga bhavam is divine. The shanmugapriya RTP in is his recently released RTP is stunning. Several musicians make brigga oriented singing a vocal acrobatics. Nedanuri Sir is different & scholarly music.
