This was part of his concert with VVS Murari accompanying him, at Musiri Chamber, on 25-Dec-2013. Just wanted to share another beautiful version of Charukesi and got permission from VVS Murari to up load! This has the initial Ragam and up to Anupallavi of the song KrupayaPalaya.

VVS CharuKesi

This was a recording done in Srirangam. Must be in late 1950s... Musiri with TK Govinda Rao. A concert sung without accompaniments. It is an outstanding version of O Rangasayee. Note the special additional Sangati in 'Muthyala Sarula' that I have not heard others sing. Also note the free flowing Svara sequence and the beautiful repartee by TKG...

Musiri G222 04 ORangaSayee Kambodi with TK Govinda Rao - Srirangam 1950s

This is also part of the same concert recorded in Srirangam in late 1950s without accompaniments. We got this recording a few years ago. Long after TKG got his Sangita Kalanidhi. We requested TKG to sing this in a concert and gave him the written song as well as this recording. TKG, after listening to the concert called back to say that this is the best ever gift he has got! Notice that in the Neraval ('Thingal Ilangum'), at one place when TKG sings inspiredly, Musiri comments 'Besh'. TKG said that this was the rarest moment to know that his Guru acknowledged and liked his singing! Understandably, TKG would not have even noticed the 'Besh' while he was singing in the late 50s... To me this is yet another gem... for you to enjoy and share!

Musiri G222 08 KaanaKanAayiram Neelambari with TK Govinda Rao - Srirangam 1950s

A very different version as opposed to what you hear these days - that too rarely. Set in beautiful Karaharapriya, rendered with so much feeling. Notice the charanam 'Paapamum Punyamum' the feeling about going after money is specially highlighted by the sangati! 

Musiri G43A 08 NavasiddhiPetraalum Karaharapriya

Another Chowka kala song - the magnificent 'Durusuga' in Saveri. In this also, notice the Neraval and Swara variations between Musiri and TKG. Share with others.

Musiri G222 03 Durusuga Saveri - Musiri with TK Govinda Rao - Srirangam 1950s

This is from a Gramaphone recording. Recorded at a time when Musiri was still young and when he was in his Prime. The only thing is the restriction of a Gramaphone record in terms of time duration imposes a constraint to sing within the duration for two sides of the record!
