Only one recording is available. They performed it in Academy in the year 1962.perarulalan wrote: ↑20 Mar 2019, 09:10 Dear Cienu Sir / rasikas members...
I happened to listen a tamil padam by Smt. MSS and Smt. RV on youtube (probably couple of years back) in gaulipantu ragam. The sahityam is something like "Vijaya Dwarakanathanai" ... Is there any recording of this padam that you can share?

Re: M.S. Subbulakshmi
Prasad was the executive officer in TTD .here he narrartes how the idea of getting Annamacharya krits sung by Smt.MS as ELP. sprang in his mind
How he got the inspiration.
the language is poetic.
--------------------
As he was walking out of the main temple Prasad found a small group of poor singers sitting
right in front of the temple singing bhajans in praise of the holy Lord.
As though halted by an invisible hand Prasad stood there for a few minutes.
He was spellbound by the amazing talent of those folk singers and more so by their rustic style of
singing.
After a few more moments of silent listening Prasad smiled
and smiled with a great sense of relief and smiled with an amazing feeling of satisfaction. Watching Prasad smile the holy Lord smiled and watching the
holy Lord smile the whole of Tirumala smiled and watching the
whole of Tirumala smile the five elements of Nature too smiled.
And later those historic smiles scripted an epoch making chapter
in the history of Indian classical music that S
Subbulakshmi forever but also launched her into immortality in
the world of devotional music that later earned her a well deserved highest civilian award
of India, the “Bharat Ratna”.

A rare picture in color of my Grandparents (Smt M.S.Subbulakshmi and Sri T Sadasivam) at the Thiruvanathapuram Kuthira Malika Palace sometime in the mid 1940's.
Veena Legend Sri K S Narayanaswamy can also be seen behind in the picture which is displayed in the Palace Museum.

=====The link given has error and so,
Yesterday and today, created a fresh page for M.S.Subbulakshmi photos .
Have covered about 100 images ( 10 sets with 10 images in each) arranged in a single column, 10 rows table for each set. It loads more quickly . this way.
https://sites.google.com/site/mssubbula ... /ms-photos
I think, we can easily go upto 150 images ( 15 sets) bringing back precious nostalgic and glorious memories, for rasikas for whom Smt.MS is like a deity.
Each image will have a brief heading and where applicable, link to
articles and news items and notes.

Re: M.S. Subbulakshmi
Kindly drop the 'ji' please.
---------------------
Shyama Sastry is said to have composed swarajathi NOT for any dance performance.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shyama_ShastriHe was probably the first to compose in a new form of the svarajati musical genre, where the compositions could be rendered solely in a singing or instrumental manner. Prior to this, the svarajati was primarily a dance form, and was close in structure to the dance Varṇaṃ (padavarṇaṃ).
His set of three famous svarajati(s) are intended to be sung in concert rather than danced, and are sometimes referred to as "Ratnatrayam" (Three jewels). They are Kāmākṣhī Anudinamu, Kāmākṣhī Padayugamē, and Rāvē himagiri kumāri, composed in the ragas Bhairavi, Yadukula kambhoji and Todi respectively. The former two are set to Miśra Cāpu Tāḷa, while the third is set to Ādi Tāḷa.
I wish that CM is completely delinked from BN, That was the aim of the founders of classical CM. ( Purandhara dasa and others).
--------------
Though Smt.MS was familiar with BN ( she did not dance even in films!). and though both Radha and Anandhi were trained BN dancers,
https://sites.google.com/site/mssubbula ... /ms-photos
(look for set-04)
they abruptly discontinued any stage performance. Radha devoted herself entirely to being the twin-voice of Smt.MS . and Anandhi to writing and promotion of KinderGarten education and Kalakshetra teaching work

Though the scenes are almost the same as in the original Tamil version of the film( 1945), the songs were different. and vying with the tamil songs for honours.

This is a rare clip from the Hindi version of the film MEERA of M.S.Subbulakshmi
http://youtube.com/watch?v=3YbafdoYfz8

Though the scenes are almost the same as in the original Tamil version of the film( 1945), the songs were different. and vying with the tamil songs for honours.

Sir, I need the original English version of speech by Sarojini Naidu as a tribute to Smt.M.S -1947 premiere of Meera film at Delhi.
Kindly help.
---------------------------------------------------
I got the tamil translation here ( I do not remember from where).
( the following passage is in tamil)
------------------------------
NTRODUCTION BY SAROJINI NAIDU TO MEERA (HINDI-1947)
ஸ்ரீமதி சரோஜினியின் பூர்வாங்கப் பிரசங்கத்தை ஒலிப்பதிவு செய்து படமும் எடுக்கப்பட்டது. கவியரசி இதற்காக முன்னால் எழுதித் தயார் செய்து கொண்டு வந்து பேசவில்லை. அந்தச் சமயம் தன் மனத்தில் தோன்றியதையே பேசினார். அவருடைய ஆங்கிப் பேச்சின் மொழி பெயர்ப்பு வருமாறு :
''தென்னிந்தியாவின் சுப்புலக்ஷ்மியை வட இந்தியாவின் மக்களுக்கு அறிமுகப்படுத்த முன் வந்திருக்கிறேன். அவருடைய தமிழ் மீரா படத்தை வட இந்தியாவுக்காக ஹிந்தி பாஷையில் ஆக்கி, வட இந்தியாவுக்கு அவர் அளித்திருக்கிறார். வட இந்தியாவுக்கு மீராவிடம் விசேஷ உரிமை உண்டு என்றாலும், மீரா உலகத்துக்கெல்லாமே சொந்தந்தான். எம்.எஸ். சுப்புலக்ஷ்மியைப் பற்றி வட இந்தியாவுக்கு மட்டுமின்றி உலகத்துக்கே எடுத்துச் சொல்ல விரும்புகிறேன். ஆகையினாலே தான் ஆங்கிலத்தில் பேசுகிறேன்.
''இந்தியாவின் சின்னஞ்சிறு குழந்தை கூட சுப்புலக்ஷ்மியைப் பற்றிக் கேள்விப்பட்டிருக்கும். அவருடைய குரல் இனிமையைப் பற்றியும், அவருடைய தர்ம கைங்கரியங்களின் சிறப்பைப் பற்றியும் அனைவரும் அறிந்திருப்பார்கள். ஆயினும் வட இந்திய மக்கள் அவரை இன்னமும் நன்றாகத் தெரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும். இந்தியாவின் தலைசிறந்த கலைவாணிகளில் ஒருவர் சுப்புலக்ஷ்மி என்பதை உணர்ந்து, அன்புடன் போற்றிக் கெளரவிக்க வேண்டும். மீராவின் கதை இந்தியாவின் கதையாகும்; இந்தியாவின் பக்தி மகிமை, ஆத்ம சமர்ப்பணத்தின் பெருமை இவற்றின் கதையாகும். மன்னர் குலத்திலுதித்த கவியரசி மீராவுக்கு உலக சரித்திரத்தில் உவமை சொல்லக் கூடியவர் வேறு யாரும் இல்லை. தெரிஸா, ஸிஸிலியா முதலிய கிறித்துவ பக்த சிரோமணிகள் ஏசு கிறிஸ்துவின் பூரண அருளைப் பெற்றவர்கள். ஆனால் மீராவோ தான் பிரேமை கொண்ட கண்ணனோடு இரண்டறக் கலந்து ஐக்கியமாகி விட்டவள். சுப்புலக்ஷ்மி இந்தப் படத்தில் மீராவாக நடித்திருக்கிறார் என்பது அவ்வளவு பொருத்தமில்லை. மீரா கீதங்களை அவர் பாடும்போது, மீராவே புத்துயிர் பெற்று வந்து நம் முன்னால் பாடுகிறார் என்றே நம்பத் தோன்றுகிறது. சுப்புலக்ஷ்மியின் அற்புதமான கானத்தைக் கேட்பவர்கள் யாரானாலும், இந்தத் தலைசிறந்த கலைவாணியின் உணர்ச்சியூட்டும் முகபாவங்களைப் பார்ப்பவர் யாரானாலும், அவர்கள் தங்கள் உள்ளத்தைப் பறி கொடுத்து மெய்மறந்து விடுவார்கள் என்பதில் சந்தேகமில்லை. சுப்புலக்ஷ்மி மீராவாக நடிக்கிறார் என்ற எண்ணமேயாருக்கும் தோன்றாது. அவரே மீரா என்றுதான் எண்ணத் தோன்றும்.
''இந்த காலத்து பாரத சந்ததியிலே இத்தகைய இணையில்லாத கலைவாணி தோன்றியிருப்பது பற்றி நீங்கள் ஒவ்வொருவரும் பெருமை கொள்வீர்கள் என்பதில் சந்தேகமில்லை.''

Re: M.S. Subbulakshmi
Though I am a devotee of Smt.MS, I prefer her earlier songs. from 1938 to 1968. ( her age , 22 to 52). Her saregama recording was given after that period and they were under copyright and could not be shared much.
Moreover, Annamacharya is said to have lived around 1400 AD. It placed him even prior to PurandaraDasa.(1500 AD) and scholarly musicologists like Dr.V.Ragavan (carnatica) have not mentioned about him much anywhere. He is said to have composed great many songs lingering in the popular minds of people in Rayalaseema region ( Thiruppathi) . and I had read some nice blogs on him ( unfortunately, unable to locate them now). and many of his songs were said to be of 'padam' type of rather explicit nature though of NammAzhvar variety. and quite a few of wonderful devotion, just like Haridasa ( Periyaazhvaar) songs, The songs chosen by Smt.MS to sing, were very high in philosophical and devotion aspect totally avoiding any erotic themes. . In theme, many were almost like Purandara Dasa / Thyagaraja swami kritis. If we are primarily interested in the tuning ( as I am) , it was a bit dampening, that all the tunes were set by modern musicians. That prevents my mind from associating him as a composer. ( perhaps, the same reason why it was not sung much in the first 70 years of 20th century( 1900-1970) in concert platforms.
Recently, I came to know that almost all the songs given as records by Smt.MS as Annamacharya kritis (1980) have been placed in public domain ( by saregama to youtube).
and it has now become possible to share the youtube links here .without any license infringement.
Here they are . and some good souls have given transliteration and translation in youtube itself. as comments!.God Bless them.

Re: M.S. Subbulakshmi
( a quote from google book on Smt.MS)
" M.s. rendering of the MeLa Ragamalika of MahaVaidyanatha Sivan, was a rare achievement. She was then 78. (1994).
The ragamalika comprises 72 maLa-kartha ragams in a single kriti. There is just a hair-breadth difference between raga and raga and the ragas had to be distinguished. The ragamalika was rich in sanskrit words. In her declining years, M.S. learned this complex composition ,studied it, and rendered it beautifully and flawlessly.
It seems that when the Paramacharya of Kanchi listened to this Ragamalika,
he exclaimed " As long as the Sun and Moon, abide in the sky, this Ragamalika will be remembered".

Re: M.S. Subbulakshmi
Yes, Sir. You are right. I came across this article in The Hindu just now.
In the photo , we find Sri.T.T.Vasu, Sri.Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer,Mrs.Alexander and Sri.Sadasivam. The then Governor of Tamilnadu, Sri.P.C.Alexander is greeting Smt.MS on the occasion
"
The article was originally published on April 12, 1989. We're republishing it as a part of M.S. Subbulakshmi Centenary Celebrations.The small studio is packed with intent listeners as the newly recorded mela raga malika sung by M. S. Subbulakshmi is played before sound engineers and scholars for final approval before its release. M.S. waits anxiously for guru Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer's verdict. Had he not taught her this rare and long piece years ago? As the spool winds to a close a beaming Semmangudi bursts into applause thus setting his seal of approval on the achievement. With the release of this cassette, compact disc and LP record by HMV, a new life has been breathed into a legend that had awed and mystified most vidwans and connoisseurs by the sheer complexity and magnificence of its design.....

I too searched for Smt.MS rendering any of Koteewara Iyer kritis. Not much information.in the web. Any link in youtube of the song of Koteeswara Iyer by Smt.MS will be very much welcome addition to
the thread in General Discussion of heading 'we need more tamil songs'.
Thank you

Just now found a link

Re: M.S. Subbulakshmi
I had not included ,so far in my website for her.,Smt.MS 's (1) kurai ondrum illai by Rajaji (ragamalika) and (2) Kanchi Acharya's hymn ( also a ragamalika, said to be tuned by Vasanth Desai) and sung by Smt.MS in her UN concert.(1966). Did it only yesterday.
Here they are.

As far Darbari Kanada, such a soulful ragam from Hindusthani Music, there is only one definitive song , set to tune by Piano Vaidyanathan HARI THUM HARO JANA KI PEER. a Meerabai bajan ( not in film) and a favourite Bajan of Gandhiji. Just three stanzas, all of them common to Vaishnava bakthi poets, and great many renowned Carnatic composers including Thyagaraja Swami ( Draupathi, Prahladha, Gajendra ) . MS record sometime in 1947 is unmatched.

As far Darbari Kanada, such a soulful ragam from Hindusthani Music, there is only one definitive song , set to tune by Piano Vaidyanathan HARI THUM HARO JANA KI PEER. a Meerabai bajan ( not in film) and a favourite Bajan of Gandhiji. Just three stanzas, all of them common to Vaishnava bakthi poets, and great many renowned Carnatic composers including Thyagaraja Swami ( Draupathi, Prahladha, Gajendra ) . MS record sometime in 1947 is unmatched.
