As part of our Vintage
Reminiscences series, Carnatica is proud and honoured
to bring out a live concert recording of the respected and reputed vocalist
Smt. Ananthalakshmi Sadagopan. An acclaimed musician, Ananthalakshmi
Sadagopan set the music scene ablaze in the 1940s and 1950s with her
gramophone records like Ganamazhai and the four raga
Sankarabharananai pallavi, which the listeners remember nostalgically even
now. Her concerts offer the best in every aspect of Carnatic music. While her
gifted voice traverses over gamakas, kaarvais and brikas with effortless ease
and enchanting sweetness, her vidwat and classical values form the solid base
to the timeless quality of her music. Disciple of the late legendary Sathur
A.G. Subramaniam, she has also had the advantage of learning under doyens like
Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, V. V. Sadagopan, Nedunuri Krishnamurthy and T.
Mukta. Her training in Hindustani classical music under Vaman Rao Sadolikar
adds a rare charm to her raga delineations. A much sought after musician, she
has performed all over India. She has also set to music several compositions
and has recorded discs and cassettes with leading companies.
This release has been digitally
mastered from an original live concert recording on spool tapes residing in
Smt. Sadagopan's family archives. Her daughter Smt. Sujatha Vijayaraghavan
provides vocal support in this concert. The items in this 2-CD release are:

Gottuvadyam K. S. Narayana Iyengar
Price: Rs. 199/US $10
This
is a special recording that commemorates the birth centenary of the legendary
Gottuvadyam vidwan. Released at the Music Academy on Dec. 26th 2003, nearly 75 years after Narayana Iyengar recorded the
original tracks as 78 rpm discs with no accompaniment whatsoever, this album
has been compiled and re-mixed with chitravina input from his grandson
N. Ravikiran and percussion support (mridangam & kanjira) by senior vidwan
Srimushnam Sri. V. Raja Rao. This was mainly to rectify speed and pitch
variations in the original recording, due to natural wear and tear of the
discs. To keep the vintage feel intact, the originals have undergone minimal
processing. The compilation is a sample of Narayana Iyengar's vast repertoire
and offers glimpses of his genius and technique. More information is available
