 ABOUT US

 

At the peak of this year's Chennai music season - where we sorely miss the towering presence of the legendary Semmangudi Srinivasier - Carnatica Archival Centre in association with the Sri. Semmangudi Srinivasier Golden Jubilee Trust, is proud to bring out a live concert recording of the pitamaha.

Recorded live on spool tapes in the late 1960s, this concert showcases the doyen in the prime of his musical career, a shining example of undiluted classicism in all its glory. He is ably supported by the maestros Lalgudi Sri. G. Jayaraman and Vellore Sri. G. Ramabhadran, with whose kind consent this recording has been made public. All proceeds from the distribution and sale of this recording will accrue to the Sri. Semmangudi Srinivasier Golden Jubilee Trust fund.  Digital conversion and processing of the tapes was the first major undertaking at The Sound of Silence, Carnatica's new studio. The Carnatica Archival Centre for Music & Dance is proud to be associated with the Trust in this venture and offers this recording as a humble tribute to our beloved Semmangudi mama.

The recording is being released as a 2 CD or 2 cassette pack and features the following items:
