Sethalapathi Balasubramanian, or Balu Mama, as he was endearingly called, in the field of Carnatic Music, is an icon to be reckoned with in parlance of honest, pure soulful music. His childlike innocent character always reflected in his music and never failed to enrapture the listener. Viruttams were his forte and his renditions of Viruttams leave the audience in a fix as to which element the music or the lyrics - is in its highest form of beauty. He always insisted in maintaining the diction and bringing out the beauty in the Lyrics, while encompassing the ultimate form of the raga into the rendition. Being the direct disciple of Tamil Thyagayyar, Papanasam Sivan, the fervor and Bhakthi with which he performs his Master's compositions is an experience of its own. This product brings to you a superb collection of some of his soul stirring Viruttams along with his power packed music. His Viruttams in each and every raga brought out a unique flavor and dimension. His rendition of Raga Karaharapriya remains unsurpassed till date. This Audio CD is a live concert performed at Krishna Gana Sabha. ** Tracks: Ni Panulujeya - Athana - Adi - Papanasam Sivan, Dhyaname Tarume - Amrita Varshini - Adi - Subramanya Bharatiyar, Poruttatkolla - Mukhari - Adi - Thirunavukkarasar, Alavedu Edutturaikka - Purnachandrika - Khanda Chapu - Thirunavukkarasar, Sonna Na Inikkudu - Kokilapriya - Adi - Arunagiri Nathar, Kallalin Keezhamarndu - Gowrimanohari - Adi, Narayana Nalinayatha - Sama - Adi - Papanasam Sivan, Viruttam Kannanai Panni Maname - Shanmukhapriya - Adi - Papanasam Sivan, Viruttam Rama nama - Desh - Adi - Tanjavur Shankara Iyer, Ayye Methakadinam - Ragamalika - Adi - Gopalakrishna Bharathi, Varugalamo - Manji - Misra Chapu - Gopalakrishna Bharathi, Viruttam Venkatachala Nilayam - Sindhubhairavi - Adi - Purandara Dasar, Thirupugazh (Erumayileri) - Mohanam - Khanda Chapu - Arunagirinathar, Karpagame - Madhyamavati - Adi - Papanasam Sivan and Ariru Tadanthol vazhga (Kandapuranam).

Learn to Sing Hindustani Vocal - Vol-2 [DVD]
The Hindustani Music that developed during the Moghul 15th and 16th century AD is based on the rich Indian tradition. Amir Khusro was a scholar poet and musicologist of rare talent in the court of Allauddin Khilji 13th century AD is credited with the introduction of new forms and styles in Hindustani music, which are still in practice today. Hindustani music is based on the raga system. Raag is the intricate system of scales and associated melodic patterns. In their numerical ratios, the scales and melodic patterns correspond with moods, colors, seasons and hours of day and night. This time theory, which governs the raags, is a unique feature of Hindustani music. The main architect of the existing system of Hindustani music was Pandit V N Bhatkhande who was responsible for the classification of the Ragas into the 10 that's. An important landmark in Hindustani music was the establishment of gharanas under the patronage of princely states. A gharana is more a school of thought than an institution. Each of the gharanas developed distinct facets and styles of presentation and performance. A Hindustani musician by profession, Dr. Ramdesh Pande is a renowned vocalist of new generation and an artist of commendable talent. Shri Chepe Shri Panake and Pt. Prabhakar Deshkar initiated Dr. Ramdesh Pande in classical music. Later he was fortunate to receive guidance from Pt. Yashwant Bua Joshi and Pt. Ulhas Kashalkar of Gwalior and Jaipur Gharanas. He has also received tutelage from Pt. Babanrao Haldankar of Agra Gharana and Pt. Yeshwant Mahale of Bhatkhande Parampara. Dr. Ramdesh Pande has excelled academically with post graduate degree in music from Nagpur University with gold medal. He is an A Graded artist of Akashwani and Doordarshan and has performed several prestigious musical platforms in India and all over the world. ** Tracks: 1. Introduction 2. Exercises and Paltas 3.

This album is a feast for the devotees of Lord Krishna and the rasikas of music. Krishnakatha is divine. Music is Divine.

Sethalapathi Balasubramanian, or Balu Mama, as he was endearingly called, in the field of Carnatic Music, is an icon to be reckoned with in parlance of honest, pure soulful music. His childlike innocent character always reflected in his music and never failed to enrapture the listener. Viruttams were his forte and his renditions of Viruttams leave the audience in a fix as to which element the music or the lyrics - is in its highest form of beauty. He always insisted in maintaining the diction and bringing out the beauty in the Lyrics, while encompassing the ultimate form of the raga into the rendition. Being the direct disciple of Tamil Thyagayyar, Papanasam Sivan, the fervor and Bhakthi with which he performs his Master's compositions is an experience of its own. This product brings to you a superb collection of some of his soul stirring Viruttams along with his power packed music. His Viruttams in each and every raga brought out a unique flavor and dimension. His rendition of Raga Karaharapriya remains unsurpassed till date. This Audio CD is a live concert performed at Krishna Gana Sabha. ** Tracks: Ni Panulujeya - Athana - Adi - Papanasam Sivan, Dhyaname Tarume - Amrita Varshini - Adi - Subramanya Bharatiyar, Poruttatkolla - Mukhari - Adi - Thirunavukkarasar, Alavedu Edutturaikka - Purnachandrika - Khanda Chapu - Thirunavukkarasar, Sonna Na Inikkudu - Kokilapriya - Adi - Arunagiri Nathar, Kallalin Keezhamarndu - Gowrimanohari - Adi, Narayana Nalinayatha - Sama - Adi - Papanasam Sivan, Viruttam Kannanai Panni Maname - Shanmukhapriya - Adi - Papanasam Sivan, Viruttam Rama nama - Desh - Adi - Tanjavur Shankara Iyer, Ayye Methakadinam - Ragamalika - Adi - Gopalakrishna Bharathi, Varugalamo - Manji - Misra Chapu - Gopalakrishna Bharathi, Viruttam Venkatachala Nilayam - Sindhubhairavi - Adi - Purandara Dasar, Thirupugazh (Erumayileri) - Mohanam - Khanda Chapu - Arunagirinathar, Karpagame - Madhyamavati - Adi - Papanasam Sivan and Ariru Tadanthol vazhga (Kandapuranam).

Learn to Sing Hindustani Vocal - Vol-2 [DVD]
The Hindustani Music that developed during the Moghul 15th and 16th century AD is based on the rich Indian tradition. Amir Khusro was a scholar poet and musicologist of rare talent in the court of Allauddin Khilji 13th century AD is credited with the introduction of new forms and styles in Hindustani music, which are still in practice today. Hindustani music is based on the raga system. Raag is the intricate system of scales and associated melodic patterns. In their numerical ratios, the scales and melodic patterns correspond with moods, colors, seasons and hours of day and night. This time theory, which governs the raags, is a unique feature of Hindustani music. The main architect of the existing system of Hindustani music was Pandit V N Bhatkhande who was responsible for the classification of the Ragas into the 10 that's. An important landmark in Hindustani music was the establishment of gharanas under the patronage of princely states. A gharana is more a school of thought than an institution. Each of the gharanas developed distinct facets and styles of presentation and performance. A Hindustani musician by profession, Dr. Ramdesh Pande is a renowned vocalist of new generation and an artist of commendable talent. Shri Chepe Shri Panake and Pt. Prabhakar Deshkar initiated Dr. Ramdesh Pande in classical music. Later he was fortunate to receive guidance from Pt. Yashwant Bua Joshi and Pt. Ulhas Kashalkar of Gwalior and Jaipur Gharanas. He has also received tutelage from Pt. Babanrao Haldankar of Agra Gharana and Pt. Yeshwant Mahale of Bhatkhande Parampara. Dr. Ramdesh Pande has excelled academically with post graduate degree in music from Nagpur University with gold medal. He is an A Graded artist of Akashwani and Doordarshan and has performed several prestigious musical platforms in India and all over the world. ** Tracks: 1. Introduction 2. Exercises and Paltas 3.
