Just curious to know what the term Nedunuri stands for- is it his village name or family name. Anybody may kindly enlighten me.

"Nedunuri recalls with embarrassment how, as an inexperienced, young performer, he had presented a disproportionately elaborate exposition of Ahiri, a minor raga, before a stalwart like Semmangudi! "While appreciating my creative ability, he affectionately cautioned me to properly understand the range and scope of a raga. This is a lesson to youngsters. Proportion in music is very important."

Surutti...downloading it now. Prashant, many thanks for these uploads.

Well, Semmangudi mama never countenanced another vidvan singing too much! A particular vidvan once confided that "Semmangudikku aduttava romba pAdinA pidikkadu". He got the same question from Mama. "Ennada ivvaluvu nEram paDarey!" - why you are singing for so much time?" for a rAgA like karaharapriya. The vidvan later heard Mama himself sing it - and reported "he has sung for 1 hour and he didn't like me singing for long!"

What about Surutti as main or kedaragoWLa? Sri Lalgudi made the former in two KGS concerts one with gItaRtamu and another with Sri venkata girISam.

And the latter is a Nedunuri staple with tulasi bilva!
