Thanks for the link.

In this concert, the brothers are accompanied by Sri.Mayavaram Govindaraja Pillai and Sri.Thanjavur Ramamurthy.

I have heard from AIR, Trichy the same RTP rendered by the brothers to the accompaniment of Sri.Lalgudi G Jayaraman
and Sri.Palghat Mani Iyer.

I hope someone may upload this RTP also of Alathur Brothers with Sri.LGJ and Sri.PMI.

On the occasion of the centenary of Sri Alathur Sivasubramania Iyer, my humble tribute- a brilliant RTP in Vachaspathi by Alathur Brothers accompanied by Lalgudi and Palghat Mani Iyer. This is one of the best Vachaspathis I have heard- the other one being that of DKP.

[bombal]

thank you CRama for the wonderful vAchaspathi RTP, so brilliantly accompanied by Sri PMI...the enthusiasm and the appreciation, for everything that Sri PMI played, by the brothers is proof enough.

this apparently says AIR recording in my music database..

Thank you Bombay Balaji for your feedback. I feel this is the radio relay of some live concert. It starts with Paramathmudu, then Ranidi radu and then RTP followed by usual tukkadas.

O My Mind!
That human birth alone is the real birth in which one worships the Lord with the flowers of His names.

That human birth alone is the real birth in which (a) having established the Lord in the splendid golden pedestal of mind, (b) one worships Him with flowers of best and auspicious names of ‘rAma’.

That human birth alone is the real birth in which one worships, (a) the feet of SrI rAma - the Supreme Lord – one who amuses Himself with all Sports (of Universe), (b) on the holy altar of precious jewels called nAda and svara, (c) with the the flowers of the names of 'rAma' – the adornment of the heart of this tyAgarAja.
நாமமெனும் மலர்கொடு வழிபடும்
மனிதப் பிறவியே பிறவியாகும், மனமே!

சிறந்த, மனமெனும் பொற்பீடத்தினில் (இறைவனை)
ஒளிரச்செய்து, புனித, மங்களமான இராம
நாமமெனும் மலர்கொடு வழிபடும்
மனிதப் பிறவியே பிறவியாகும், மனமே!

நாதம், சுரமெனும் உயர், நவரத்தின
வேதிகையின்மீது, அனைத்து திருவிளையாடல்களில்
களிப்போனின், பரம்பொருளினின், இராமனின்
திருவடிகளை, தியாகராசனின் இதய-அணிகலனின்
நாமமெனும் மலர்கொடு வழிபடும்
மனிதப் பிறவியே பிறவியாகும், மனமே!

Nādabhṛṅga is very happy to bring to you an historic concert recording of the Alathur Brothers (Mahavidwans Sri Sivasubramania Iyer and Sri Srinivasa Iyer), performed on the evening of 23rd December, 1964, at The Music Academy, Madras.

a reader's comment in youtube
---------------------------------
Grand concert and Lalgudi Sir Violin is superb.
I noticed that not a single Krithi of Dikshitar and Shyama Sastry was rendered.
-
Of course Variety of composers less known are rendered.

===============================================
