The singing is astonishing; taking a relatively "undemanding" ragam and revealing its brilliance. Make no mistake, TMK has no peers and, as someone who has listened to his recordings for a few decades, I have witnessed his progression/evolution into genius. I could go on about why, but not here. And as someone who has always held (and still does) MDR, Semmangudi, Chembai, Musiri with their perfection as the benchmarks, but I am beginning to wonder if they were perfect only because they stayed in their comfort zone? What is thrilling about TMK is his willingness to push the boundary of what is possible, and hence courageous in taking on the risks which no other singer has dared (as far as I can tell). First Edition recordings deserve a big applause for their recordings. This music has thrived for centuries, not because of state subsidies or royal sponsorships but due to its richness, its inherent confidence which has ensured its evolution into one of the most powerful musical forms. However, Carnatic music pyramid, which is thriving not just in India but the world over, has an expansive base of mediocrity. Take note aspiring young vocalists - don't worry about memorising 400, or even 20 ragams, just do a few memorable ones.

An interesting analysis. However, those artists, especially MDR, created that comfort zone for themselves by pushing the boundary of what existed then. It is just that we have been fortunate to witness TMKs evolution (sometimes in 1080p!). I would give anything to be able to witness this similar evolution of Ramanathan or Chembai (the difference in his music from the 78 rpm records to the utter serenity in his later years).

Neelambari is moving the heart. This is the tempo in which it is best to hear. A lullaby. In ddition to violin the mridangam lifts the concert. Great TMK Sir.

I had a great fortune to fill this masterpiece live. What a soulful program it was

Brilliant! What I really appreciate about TMK is that he has evolved his own style of singing. Slow, gentle music with a very soft percussion and violin on the side. And Neelamabari is probably the best platform to showcase his skill!

Neelambari raga explored at it’s best by Krishna.

A class progressive singar facing lot of challenges. We will support him....

Exceptional rendition. I have been listening to this song from at least 10+ singers, last 40 years, living in US. For this song, the speed is perfect. Subbulakshmi has done absolutely great job supporting Krishna.

Best Neelambari. Slept off..😴

From Prasadini in charanam it was a roller coaster delight ,so much melody and BHAVA...At Guruguha we could feel the Presence of the composer too..

Absolute essence of Neelambari, one of my favourite songs... sung beautifully.

The rendering of this kirtana snd the wonderful slow pace remind us of another late stalwart Shri Ramanathan. Touching the innermost nerves and so soothing. God bless the Singer and accompanying artists.

Great! I am gradually inclined to love his rendering of every note! I could admire him as one of the soulful voices of the human era! His way of enjoying each and every musical moves as a devotee of the almighty is imitable. 💐💐💐💐💐💐🙏🙏

Fantastic music!. Thanks.

Wow just pure music

exellent neelambari thank you TMK

Extremely soothing raaga.

This beautiful piece is so lilting and SWEET that we are driven to the beautiful vision of the the most beautiful DIVINE MOTHER before our meditative pair of eyes. You see HER smiling and beatific sweet face bestowing Her Kataksha. Very soulfully rendered by this excellent singer

The song calms and excites at the same time! I wonder how MDR would have sung this.

Really marvelous.

A raga that is soothing, like a lullaby that cradles one’s senses, is Neelambari. This is a raga that is associated with relaxation, peace, and slumber. A janya of Shankarabharanam, Neelambari has gamakas that flow seamlessly from one note to another, blending subtle notes, like a shading on a canvas, and finally it all merges into one phrase that make so much sense.

parama sowkyam. thanks

Indeed, Hindustani Nilambari and Carnatic Neelambari are entirely different ragas. The former belongs to the Kafi thaat and the latter is a janya of the 29ᵗʰ melakarta Dheerashankarabharanam (the scale of which corresponds to Bilawal thaat, although as ragas these two are also very different).

Again wow.. sharing with friends.. all the best for this very important work... This may sound silly but it would be great if you guys facilitate short term workshops.

Recently I learned that the original South Indian music was developed by the Tamils but later was stolen by " Kalathiar ' who ruled the Tamils from Karnataka and that is how the name Karnatic Music came into use. Mr. T.M. Krishnan's vision of music is different from others in a way that it should not be restricted to only a few but reach out to whoever is interested. The very fact he still excels in his performance is strong evidence of his belief in whomever he worships.
