The Semmangudi Srinivasier Golden Jubilee Trust and the Carnatica Archival Centre for Music & Dance are proud to bring out yet another live concert recording of Semmangudi Dr. R. Srinivasier, Carnatic Music’s beloved pitamaha! Digitally re-mastered from spool tapes recorded in the early 1960s, this concert features a typical Semmangudi song list - a delicious blend of the best works in Carnatic music, sung with characteristic verve and adhering to a rich pathantaram that weaves a magical web around the listener.

The doyen is supported by the leading violin maestro of the time, Sangita Kalanidhi Mysore Sri. T. Chowdiah who was renowned for his seven-stringed violin. The evergreen Sangita Kalanidhi Vellore Sri. G. Ramabhadran embellishes the concert with his subtle sarvalaghu percussion style.
