Oops...I cant believe I have missed the recent developments on this thread. The point about Mali's last concert was excellant. That is a concert that I will cherish. Hari did match Mali very well.
About Hari being Mount Everest of percussion, I totally agree with that. In some other thread I had mentioned Palghat Mani Iyer as the Meru.
I am so happy that my dear friends, Nerkunram Shankar, Bangalore Amrith and B Sreesunderkumar made the Harishankar Memorial function a great success. All four of us share great admiration and memories of Harishankar. Happy to see the Harishankar Legacy continue.
Does anyone know if there is a photograph of Harishankar on the hall of fame corridor of Music Academy??

There is a small youtube video of mali with harishankar. Im a layman when it comes tro laya. In the video he plays shiva shiva enaraada with a complex muktaaya which is matched only by harishankar. And mali looks back and nods in approbation.. wonderful videothathwamasi wrote:Oops...I cant believe I have missed the recent developments on this thread.

Yes Thanjavooran , you are right.
Accompanists are as follows:
Dwaram Mangathayaru - Violin
Mannargudi Easwaran - Mridangam
Hari Shankar - Kanjira
Pudukottai Mahadevan - Morsing
Beautiful Video. The Sabha has a thatched roof , with fans , a far cry from today when almost all Sabhas are uncomfortably chill with high airconditioning.
Mali is supported by 3 pillows tripling up as a make shift back rest.
Ofcourse the music is divine ... absolutely !

How wonderful if this were true. We would have heard the great Mali for 19 years and 7 months more ! Unfortunately he reached his Creator on May 31st 1986...

Semmu86 - Not sure if they have any plans of them converting it. However, you can look for a double audio cassette released by AVM (I guess) of this concert. But they have cut a few pieces. I bought it like 8 years before and now I dunno where it is now. There are many lively comments of Semmangudi which wlil make u laugh so much in that concert.

ya i have that double audio concert.... i dont have the complete song list of that concert, so i really dont know what all pieces they have omitted.... and it certainly looks like they have omitted because in those cassettes the concert starts from "sri mAthrubHootham" and ends in the thillana, looks like incomplete to me.... and of course as you said wonderful humorous commments by mama ,, especially his fondness towards harishankar

Semmu86 - I am sure they cut off the first item of the concert which was 'Inta Paraka'. And more so on the video, some funny gestures by Semmangudi Mama. In pankaja Lochana, while singing the Anupallavi - he will be singing Shankara Vidi Vala and he will be pointing out to Shankaran with a baby like Smile... ...And Harishankar would have played some really really cute fillers in between in that Pankaja Lochana.

Hi Tathvamasi,
The video clip you posted before
http://rapidshare.de/files/29209646/IMMORTALMOMENTS.MPG
is not working anymore. (An error occurs that says no download activity for a long time)
If it is not too much trouble, could you please post this clip (and others if any ) again ?

hi khanjirachavana.... i think you are mentioning about its audio ( am sincerely hoping that am proved wrong and you have full video of it) .... audio is available even now i think and one more thing is i dont know whether our forum allows us to upload commercial recordings (since that concert can be brought actually)

hanasoge - I think some harishankar clips including this one are on youtube. Will send the links tonite.
Kanjirachavana - I think Semmu86 is right in saying we cannot upload ones that are commercially released. However, will the moderators permit us just to share the tani avartanam on this concert please. You can email me if you require any help to upload as mentioned in ur message.

Kanjirachavana : Guess you can share this concert on a one-to-one basis, if you are willing. If you don't mind giving us your email id or create one email id for this purpose and post that id, interested rasikas can email you. You can then upload the concert on any of the popular upload engines and send the link to those who sent you an email. I know it is a round about way, but it will allow interested rasikas to get the concert and also not violate rasika's code. Just an idea.

I have described in my post dated 04/30/2008 on how my idea would not violate rasikas.org's norms. If it is a rule that anything should not be shared in a public forum like this, the only way to do it is one-to-one by sharing the respective email ids. Infact I have not even mentioned what my suggestion to upload concerts was. IMHO, I have tried to be as conforming as possible. Thanks !

Yes. His demise is a great loss to us. He is an all time great genius for sure.
Heard that he used to play Kanchira as a right hander and Mridangam as a left hander (to prove that Mridangam playing is not as good as Kanchira playing).

Here was one musician who never had to prove anything to anyone --- but who, apparently, was very modest in his relationship with mridangists. Actually, I met him just once, and he seemed very modest person anyway!to prove that Mridangam playing is not as good as Kanchira playing
One mridangist (UKS or K Mani?) said of him, "what I play with two hands he can play with just one".
I am not a great one for Youtube or downloads, but I have watched some snippets of Harishankar's exchanges with T. Sankaranan. The expression on Sri Sankaran's face, at Harishankar's returns, is one of pure delight and admiration. He must have wept on hearing of his demise.

Just to add to this statement. The most exciting and breathtaking stuff in Shankaran-Harishankar tanis is the koraippu section. And the way Sri Harishankar responds to Shankaran sir's koraippus..... I've no words .... one really wonders whoz the best....I have watched some snippets of Harishankar's exchanges with T. Sankaranan.
For eg, if Shankaran sir plays a koraippu in 1-2-4 format Sri Harishankar would reverse it and reply in 4-2-1 format. And at many instances Shankaran sir would join the main artist in saying a "Balle" I was fortunate enough to see some scenes like this from a point blank range
God is Great !!!!
