M D Ramanathan

Janani Ninuvina - Reetigaula

M D Ramanathan is a God of music to me and alot of others.
A friend who shares such adoration for the master gave me this concert recording.
I am sharing only the one piece from the concert here.
No one sang this kriti like great MDR did!
Please listen to it to understand the right technique of singing.

The kriti itself is a master piece!
Subbaraya Satry's composition is an example for right use of a Ragam.
Chitteswaram is another unique part of the kriti.. MDR sang the Chitteswaram in his own way.
Then sang sahityam for it!
