There is something about violin. Such a remarkable instrument so good at different kinds of music. Both emotional and cerebral. I just love it and when Dr Subramaniam plays it, it is just bliss
I used to listen to this from the South Indian album as I read science fiction and went to sleep. Other times I would just listen to the album and enter a dream state that was like being in another universe. I remember almost every grace note hearing this again after a long time.As much as I love classical music, I consider him the best violinist. Amazing tone and intonation and the way he can repeat phrases down to the smallest grace note. I have heard this 100s of times, never gets old. This is like visiting an old friend.
each raga conveys some emotion and feeling. listning to keeravani is like a trip back to ourself. our past. our route. there is a pain of something we lost. something that makes ourself realise where we come from. so superbly played. great trip. incredible
Kirwani is very popular among North Indian music lovers.There r some Raagas taken in Hindustani classical style frm d Carnatak classical music which r very popular and sound unique.I m never satisfied with listening to this Raaga once.Many Gazals & Hindi films songs based on Kirwani r unforgettable.
The sangathis at Panchamam are heavenly and gives a whole new effect to this terrific raagam. The gamakams at the gandharam from this great Vidwan is a treat and nobody else can give this kind of a feel... Thanks so much for this great upload.
I am not expert but panchamam is the 5th note in scale also called dominant. Gandharam is the 3rd note and heres since it's Keeravani raga which is equivalent to harmonic minor so gandharam means the minor third here. Gamakam means a slight wavy form of expressing the note - little before and little after instead of playing or singing just the pure note without any oscillation. Sangathi also means same I guess though you could check in Wikipedia
what was the documentary? baraka? if so, he composed those songs special for the film (which is visually and musically incredible, if you haven't seen it)
Srikar Prasad No it wasn't baraka. A documentary called Banaz A Love Story by fuuse. It's played throughout the film and at the end. I haven't seen baraka so I'll check it out thanks :)
Srikar Prasad Its a documentary about honor killing. I was hoping you'd be able to know the song that they play by dr l. Subramanium throughout the video.
Anyone can help me with the album Kingdom of Peace - Live in Nepal? have been searching for it no where to be seen. I had a cassette version of it which is now totally screwed up. Any help would be greateful.
I cannot understand how hindus, having this kind of artists and rich heritage on all fields in their country, look towards western bullshit and try to copy the garbage from here. It's mind blowing and heart breaking. Eternal respects to traditional music.
It's called Yug Dharma in Sanskrit (rough translation: Nature of a particular phase of time). People lose interest in transcendental things and become interested in sensual things. Western culture has developed things that are sensuary in nature, so people get attracted. By the way may I ask where you're from, geographic location, culture, religion etc. ?
Dear Ramesh, i know about the Kali-Yuga in the present Manvantara as i have read the Puranas and Vedas and that things are getting grimmer by the passing of time, but my wondering was simple. One can easily realise this is a complex piece and need not be on the transcendental path, just with the logical mind. Anyway i'm from Romania and i grew up studying tradition and metaphysics on all religions and i like to listen to all the traditional music of the different traditions and all in all i'm proud to say that, despite being a westerner, i have an oriental mentality.
Dear Valdyr, Your knowledge is amazing. Lot of Hindus in India don't have a clue about things you have read. I By the way, I grew up in India and settled in the US for almost two decades. I have a few Romanian immigrant friends and they're generally very smart. What I was alluding to was different. First of all a small percentage of people have logical mind; but I don't think you need a logical mind to enjoy music. I think there is some connection between this music and transcendental nature of humans. You don't have to be on the path. Just having the nature and inclination. If you have that then a certain percentage of your ability to freely enjoy the sensuary items is lost. So I see more and more people being born with a mentality of keeping away from it, per the dharma of the Yuga. This is my hypothesis anyway and you're welcome to counter it.
Undoubtedly so, dear Ramesh, i won't disagree with you, as there is a hierarchy in all things created or not, it is the case with the actual perception of beauty as well, in this particular case, music. Being among the highest beings created by the Gods (to which beauty is the norm), we are capable of different levels of sensibility towards sound so we can perceive beauty as well. These are indeed the signs of the times with that the majority prefers what we could call "western noise". But this noise is in their case their beauty, the lowest form true, tough it is a reality in a certain way. I call these people "stone-hearted", whose incapability of sensibility towards what is sacred and transmitted as an art, reaches to the utmost extremities of ignorance. They are damned towards multiplicity, but as it was written, so shall it be. What do you think about what i said ? Also what are your favourite ragas and by whom ?
I think I have to read your answer several times to understand. I was hooked on to Indian Classical Music from a relatively young age, about 13 or so. My taste kept changing. Initially I liked ragas that were of softer swaras and more balanced in swara sthanas like Thodi and Kharaharapriya. As I grew older (i'm 47 now) I started to like ragas with one sharper swara and some what imbalanced in swara sthanas like the one here, Keeravani. On a side note I could never even have dreamed that I would discuss these highly specialized musical aspects with a guy from Romania. Are you living in Romania or somewhere else?

I personally feel there is lot of breaks and disconnected flow in aalaap that actually is a low in this performance. Also more repetitive gamakas one next to another. May be the problem is due to LS extraordinary brilliance in raagas that it overflows bit higher in his brain that is an electric impulse that the hands in mach speed sometimes unable to catch up that speed. Such greats suffer this.
Why do you people insist on disagreeing in violence, anger? Can't we just simply disagree? Perhaps we could learn from each other instead of releasing our inner miseries and hatreds. Human Beings. What a pathetic lot!

Can you explain for a brazilian.what does it mean , please :
:the sangathis at panchaman.
the gamakams at the grandharam.

I was watching a documentary and they played one of his songs at the end of it and I was hooked. I wish I could find that particular song though.
what was the documentary? baraka? if so, he composed those songs special for the film (which is visually and musically incredible, if you haven't seen it)
Srikar Prasad No it wasn't baraka. A documentary called Banaz A Love Story by fuuse. It's played throughout the film and at the end. I haven't seen baraka so I'll check it out thanks :)

💐💐👌👍
This is in Keeravani. I was expecting Mohanam!
Sivan, Radha and Keeravani. What a combination! I am sure Devi Herself would be pleased.

This is mohana ragam..
garlapati sridhar bloody fool
Listen carefully, there seem to be more notes than you can expect from mohana, when the notes under SA are played. And SA is obvious due to tanpura.
Hello sir, this means you do not know Mohanam also.
Why do you people insist on disagreeing in violence, anger? Can't we just simply disagree? Perhaps we could learn from each other instead of releasing our inner miseries and hatreds.
Human Beings. What a pathetic lot!

The raga is originally Carnatic, it is said that it was later adopted into Hindustani.
