Dr.Rajam's Hindustani violin programmes [ both solo and jugalbandis with other artists] are a pleasure to watch.

The excellent comments given by Sri Sachi about Dr.N.Rajam's 75 Th birth day function is given below vide
the view pt in the above post.

The essence of the videos from vol 2 to 5 were given by Sri Sachi so that you will not miss the videos in different videos vol 2 to 5.
The hallmark of Sri Sachi's sharp and analytical mind are evident in his review.

Dear rasikas,
I cannot thank enough Sri Nageswaran who lives and breathes the spirit of this forum as a great musical listener and "sharer" of the aesthetic enjoyment.
Due to his persistent calls, I at last managed to watch the videos, one of which I have linked to the picture above.

Did you know that
Padma Bhushan N Rajam learnt music from her father and also Prof Musiri Subramania Iyer?
Did you know she plays great Carnatic music even today - she plays Sarasija Nabha sodari and teaches Vallabha Nayakasya to her daughter in that documentary?
That Rajam accompanied MSS in many concerts when she was only 14?
That her daughter Sangeetha Shankar has been nominated for Grammy?
That she had made a wonderful video on Indian music, with excerpts shown in this YT clip? Therein Anu Kapur, musically gifted too, shows how one can laugh in Hanseeraag/taal...
That she teaches voice culture at a Uni?
That Dr Rajam's student Prof Balaji, a close friend or Sri Nageswaran, has invented an instrument which plays like violin, sitar, etc.?
More wonderful than you can imagine, a whole lot of videos of that function..... Start with this one.
Happy week ahead!

I also watched this video. A professionally well organised function. Dr. Rajam richly deserved the accolades paid by the dignitaries. The acceptance speech by Dr. Rajam containing her experiences which will be a message to her students in their path to success shows her sincerity, hard work, and communication skills. Thanks to Nageswaran for sharing this video and RSachi for the commentary.
I am a great fan of Dr.Rajams'violin and have attended a few concerts of hers in Bombay.
