I thought I will share with you all the Akash Vani Sangeeth Sammelan Veena recital by Shri RK Suryanarayan. As all of you would know, Shri RKS is a versatile vainika who was otherwise a good composer too - he has composed several thillanas. The link is given below. It is RM form to be converted into MP3 format.

I would be glad if anyone of you could share with me any other live concert of Shri RKS apart from his/her own experience in listening to his playing the Veena.

TNK-MC and TK rangachari will still take some time .
so before that , here is he RK Suryanarayana Concert.
Doordarshan used to telecast a very nice serial in the early 80s.A story set on a farm house , where RKS is a taking a holiday.There is a young couple on a honeymoon -who have very little idea about Indian classical music.Over a few weeks, RKS slowly unravels ,to them, the beauty of Indian Music.
It was a very well conceived program and I had enjoyed it thoroughly.Wonder if any one else remembers seeing it.

Coolkarni:
I am grateful to you. I had indeed seen one or two episodes of that serial that you are talking about.
I got fascinated by RKS playing the Veena when I first heard the LP of HMV that contained the Ata Tala Varnam (bhairavi). That was the time when I was also learning the Veena. I also happened to watch the concert on DD Madras when he played for about an hour (black and white telecast- that would last for only three or four hours a day). I saw that his Veena had more strings than the normal one. I later understood that he had a Gayatri Veena that had 24 strings. Thus you will find that whenever he plays any raga, he strikes those strings gently, resulting in a jingle or combination of the swaras that would render the essence of the raag (similar to Hindustani instruments like Santoor).
About 2 years back I happened to meet him at Bangalore at his residence. I was in all praise for his method of handling the instrument with ease and firmness. He was quite humble and stated that he was still learning. He took his Gayatri veena (apparently a heir-loom) and played raag Varali for me even though I said that I would like to see his Veena. I sought his blessings and left for Chennai.
One month later he passed away. By that time, he had composed enough thillanas and other compositions. He had several disciples. I felt that I was most unfortunate not to have learnt anything from him. I am glad however that I had the opportunity to meet him.
He had released about seven CDs including a Jugalbandi and a twin CD containing his thillanas (all home recording).
He never used a "meeti" - he used his long finger nails to have enough flexibility to handle the instrument comfortably.

Dear all,
Some more inputs about RKS from Sruti magazine vol 234 that announced his passing away at his age of 66 on 25 Dec 2003:
Quote
He hailed from a musical family of Rudrapatnam in Hassan district of Karnataka. Born in 1937 at Mysore, he had his music training from his father the late asthana vidwan of the Mysore royal court R.S. Keshavamurthy, a favourite disciple of Veena Subbanna of Mysore. Keshavamurthy, an innovator, evolved the Gayatri veena having 17 strings additional to the seven the normal veena has, thus enhancing the sonorousness of the instrument. All seven sons of Veena Keshavamurthy are vainika-s, three of them being vocalists and mridangists also.
Suryanarayana began his music career as a vocalist at a young age. He performed at the age of seven before the Maharaja of Mysore. Soon he took up the veena. Trained by his father, he inherited the wealth of age old tradition. His tanamalika was a harmonious blend of classicism and originality. His mastery of fingering technique was complete. He could produce swara-s even on the right hand bridge where there is no help from frets.
His style was at once classical and creative. He used all his fingers with amazing precision, racing across the frets with incredible speed while playing the fourth string anumandara, he could bring out the saptaswara-s clearly. His exposition of raga-s was spacious and imaginative.
He was a graduate of the Mysore University and a voracious reader. His writings in various journals were scholarly. He had an impressive presence and was a man of great charm. He travelled extensively all over the world several times and gave many concerts, talks and lecture-demonstrations. Recognition by way of more than thirty coveted titles and honours from leading music associations in India and abroad came to him. The Swamiji of Siddaganga Math of Tumkur honoured him with a golden crown and the title 'Gayatri Veena Vivasvanta'. He was one of the rare musicians from Karnataka to receive the title of Kalaimamani from the Tamil Nadu Government. He participated in both TV and Akashvani broadcasts, music conferences, national programmes and festivals. He has left behind a number of recordings.
He was a composer in Sanskrit, Telugu, Kannada and Manipravalam and has composed swarajati-s, varna-s, 72 janaka raga kriti-s, navagraha kriti-s, ragamalika-s-- Manipravala ragamalika, Pratyahara Panchadasa ragamalika, javali-s and tillana-s, totalling more than 400. His publications include tillana-s in 44 raga-s, 72 janaka raga kritimala, navagraha navaratnamalika, and Abhignana Gururayara kritimala (24) with notation in book form. His mudra-s were Harapurisa, Tripurasraya and Tripurasundari. He was an ardent devotee of Sree Raghavendraswami of Mantralaya and was also asthana vidwan of the Math.

Dear Friends,
Can somebody throw more light on the lineage of Sangeetha Kalanidhi Sri R K Srikantan? From what I recollect Sri R K Srikantan, Rudrapatnam Brothers and R K Sriramkumar are the only living-performing artistes in their family now. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Coolkarni Sir,
I remember seeing that serial. Ofcourse, it was retelecasted in the mid-90s.

Iam not sure why you have asked about R.K.Srikantan when the discussion is about R.K.Suryanarayana. Of course they both hail from the sankEti community of rudrapaTNa. Anyway here goes- I am cutting and pasting from a website maintained by SrIkantan avhA`s SiShya, Ravikiran
"" Sri Srikantan was born in 1920 to a distinguished traditional family of musicians of Rudrapatnam in Hassan District in Karnataka which is situated on the banks of river Cauvery.
He is the youngest son of late Sri Krishnasastry who was a great scholar in Sanskrit and Kannada, a noted poet, a versatile artist and also a Harikatha vidwan.
His grandfather Sri Narayanappa of Bettadapura was also a great musician and a close friend of Sri Veena Seshanna of Mysore.
After taking lessons of music from his father at a tender age and later from his illustrious brother Sri R.K.Venkataramasastry - a leading violinist and a disciple of T.Chowdaiah - he came under the influence of all leading musicians of yore from the south.
The noteworthy features of Sri Srikantan's music are his sruthi suddham, clear cut pronunciation of the sahityam and his bhava-laden krithi renditions.
He has been particularly instrumental in popularizing the Devaranamas of all Haridasas especially Purandaradasa. The point to note here is his strict adherence to the rakthi ragas - the ragas which are the life and soul of Carnatic Music. All the Devaranamas tuned by him are in the time honored ragas like Todi, Bhairavi, Mohana, Kalyani, Dhanyasi, etc.
Sri Srikantan belongs to the shishya parampara of Thyagaraja himself :
Thyagaraja
Walajapet Venkataramana Bhagavathar
Mysore Sadasiva Rao
Veena Seshanna
R.K.Venkatarama Sastry
R.K.Srikantan.
His pure paataantharams are a treat to the ears.
Sri Srikantan is a guru of a very high repute. A strict taskmaster that he is, he refuses to accept any thing less than 100% from his shishyas !!
Some of his famous disciples include his son and my guru Sri Rudrapatnam Ramakanth, Smt M.S.Sheela, Smt T.S.Sathyavathi and many others.....(include me
)
He has also been a recipient of many awards and titles including the much coveted Sangeetha Kalanidhi.
Sri Srikantan belongs to a near extinct breed of Carnatic musicians who strive and achieve perfection within the time honoured bounds of tradition or sampradaayam.
Here is the link for the site
http://www.geocities.com/rksrikantan/biographical.htm
And in the family, we have Vidushi Dr.R.N.Srilatha, the sister of rudrapaTNa brothers and R.S.Ramakant, son of Sri Srikantan. ALso, Srikantan`s daughter Ratnamala Prakash and his daughter-in-law Malathi Sharma are both famous bhAvagIte artistes. They are also performing artistes although not CM artistes.
bhAvagIte is a light-classical music genre in kannaDa which can broadly be compared to ghazals. But o music. bhAvagIte covers a wide range of subjecs and are poems from famous poets set to music.

Dr. Shrikaanth K Murthy Sir,
Thank you for the info. If you feel its inappropriate for this thread, I'm sorry for bringing it in here.
I think I got the initials confused here. I had thought that Sri Srikantan and Sri Suryanarayana are from the same family. I though mapping the whole Shishya Parampara will bring more light into the famous Carnatic Music Family of Rudrapatnam.
Definitely, Sri RKS is a great vocalist. I have found great Sukham in the way he sings for example, the song Shoure vitara kushala mahi (Darbar). I have also heard some fine veena playing by Sri Suryanarayana on AIR. My grandfather and I had recorded a few of them but unfortunately they are lying in India.

I was only wondering if I was missing something. No need to apologize. It would be little surprise if R.K.Srikantan and R.K.Suryanarayana were related in some manner. In fact I would say they are very likely to be related in at least a remote manner, coming from the same community. Yes it is a pleasure to hear SrIkantan`s singing. ANd it is even more humbling to see his humility when it comes to music. And he does have a wry sense of humour too. [Should I say the P.G.Wodehouse or Saki(H.H.Munro) type?]
And I also recall with pleasure and a sense of gratitude my visit to R.K.Suryanarayana`s home "SrImAtA" with my mother and a student of his. In fact he had personally called me on the phone and invited me after making me sing a couple of my compositions on the phone!!! When I visited him, he again made me sing my compositions and also personally signed and presented me a set of all his books containing his compositions. He also encouraged me whole-heartedly and offered to help me write the notations. (I was still very much an amateur then and had hardly experience in notating songs). Regardless of his quirks and a reputation for being a "maverick" (as an article in the Deccan Herald said) he was a simple and generous man in that he encouraged someone who was a nobody in the field of music to continue composing and to publish as well. This came at a time when some other artistes had been discouraging and disparaging and a tad dismissive of my efforts at composing.
Yes he did experiment a lot when playing the vINe and went off the beaten track, at times to distraction, but there is no doubt that he was a master of the instrument.

I can only observe that you must be a person who believes that "the devil lies in details". I am amazed at your detailing exercise. Thanks a ton for uploading those pieces.
Other members:
Meantime, continuing the discussions in the thread, let me state that during my meeting with Mr RKS, he confirmed that Mr RK Srikantan belonged to his family.
Mr Venkatrama Sastry, whom you are talking about, is a versatile violinist. My elder brother learnt violin from him for some time. A friend of mine, Chandramouli, too learnt violin from him for over 8 years. I had seen Mr Sastry playing as an accompanying artist for Nagercoil Harihara Iyer in one of the concerts. Nagercoil Harihara Iyer was both a vocalist and a violinist.
Mr Sastry had come to my home to attend the Skanda Shashti celebrations. We had a samaveda parayanam at that time. While going back, Mr Sastry explained to us how the samaveda was recited; how the scales would go up and down and the relevant swaras. Last when I met him he was residing in a building in TP Road opposite Vidyodaya School. Just an info!

Dear all,
I have shared with sangeethapriya.org the following concert of TNK for wider reach and easier download. Meantime, if possible, you may download (about 56 MB) from this link. I am unable to break this file and hence I have chosen yousendit.com. If anyone can break it into two, they may do so and upload it through rapidshare so that the validity will be for 30 days atleast.
