This video will be the prized possession of established musicians, practioners and laymen Examples of faulty singing explained in his usual witty style! His depth and range of 4 octaves one and only the great Balamurali sir yuga purusha 🙏
Back in the '80s when they used to telecast the Deshraag ensemble, my fav section was Shri BalaMuraliKrishna's vocals, even though I didnot understand a word of it. Blessed by Saraswati !
Lecture demonstration is so instructive. Better than a ton of reading. Guides even a lay listener to critically appreciate music and evaluate the musicians. 👏
Yes the best interpretation is after a demonstration unlike conventional method used to study Science or literature where a student can grasp things from book.... The voice production by striking a balance between nasality and complete mouth is a bit tricky..... Omkar doesn't work much as far as honkar does....
You probably dont give a shit but does anybody know a trick to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me!
We watched this program when it was first transmitted on Doordarshan,I think in the early eighties. To the best of my knowledge, I don't think we have had one singer in the last 100 years who could sing in four octaves as BMK demonstrates here; or hold breath for more than 25 seconds as shown here (I have heard him hold his breath even longer than this during a concert at Bombay's Shanmukhabanda venue)!! or, sing gamakas with his clarity and speed.. and what is more the voice which is unique and God-given!! Aside from his great singing, he is undoubtedly the greatest composer since the days of the Thrimurthies - thyagaraja, dixitar and shyama sastri.. in fact, I get a feeling he is a reincarnation of all the three who incarnated to take classical music to newer frontiers!! We will see another BMK only if his soul decides to return to earth to take classical music further.
The period of Ajjada Adibhatla Narayana Das is 1864 - 1945. He is Harikatha Pitamaha and the founder Principal of Maharajah’s Music college in Vizianagaram, later taken over by Government. He was an expert in music, literature, dance, poetry, astavadhanam etc. He incorporated music, literature and dance in the art he created Harikatha. He is a very great vaggeyakara in the post Trinity period and highly revered by Mangalampally Balamuralikrishna garu. Balamuralikrishna garu was taken to Narayana Dasu garu by his guru and introduced to him when he was a child.
I,as a layman can find a lot of difference between the quality of music in Hindustani and Carnatic. The latter has true touch of devotion and its Gamakas are excellent in the prestigious tone of Pt Balsubramanyam. Thanks for sharing. 🙏🙏🙏
What a joy to listen to and learn from this video. I particularly loved his words towards the very end. How people criticized him early in his career because he sang well and clearly with great emphasis on voice control, modulation and pronunciation! They said these qualities made him good only for cinema music, not classical. I think he has proved his naysayers wrong, just with the sheer beauty and sublimity of his music. I am forever grateful that I had the great fortune to have listened to one of the greatest musicians of all time.
Clarity is something always draws me towards Sri Balamuralikrishna garu's singing. I didn't find that in anybody else's singing. Clarity of words, clarity of note, alapana. 🙏🙏🙏.. Vande Guru Paramparaam 🙏 The bad gamakas etc are the reason I didn't stick with one guru because I was afraid my voice would go in the wrong direction.
There is only one and only one BMK. He does not destroy the Bhaava of the Kriti. His control of Voice is impeccable. I didn’t see this demo until my sister sent me this link. Thanks Mr. Murthy.
This lesson really teaches the musical exponents how their attitude should be while singing, learning and in perfecting the art. Kind of feels like a scene from the movie "Sankarabharanam", when Sankara Sastri ji puts forward what music is and how it should be looked to.
I am happy I came across this video. These things are the most precious, though my teacher has already mentioned these things in my class, i find many music practitioners are not aware of these things.. thanks for the wonderful video
Thank you for uploading this and the audio for the episode on raga aalaapana. It is incredible to get this teaching from an artist of his caliber, even if extremely short for a field as immense as Indian classical music. As an aside, I have not heard anyone who can pronounce Telugu words as crystal clearly as he can. Once you hear him sing/say the word, one can assume that is how that word should be pronounced. There is a concert (available on youtube) with Dr. Balamuralikrishna and Pt. Ajoy Chakrabarty, with the bandish including the word, 'madhuram'. There is a world of difference when you hear that word from BMK. Unless one hears it, it is impossible to believe the same word can be pronounced with such difference.
Semmangudi was a phenomenon and a musical genius rare to come accross. I prefer to listen to him sing with abandon endlessly with amazement and self absorption. My father loved MBK and he was holding the same opinion like you. Semmangudi was not voice conscious while his singing and that had often taken him to unimaginable heights. Unfortunately, for many a singers who are often very conscious of their voice quality, taking a deep plunge into music may not be possible!!! These are my personal thoughts may not be agreeable to many. Incidentally, I am from purely Telugu background not knowing Tamil much. I love both Semmangudi and MBK.
@@ykvk6983 Just in case if it were a violin, will someone go to unimaginable heights if they are not conscious of the sound that comes from the violin but pay heed to their manodharma or creativity alone ? I thought music means sound too !
This sort of rare thing you have published , is great idea , in providing a chance of better learning for pupils I thank you on behalf of all students of music
Thank you so much for sharing this video.. very very informative and bmk sir's talent Is just beyond description.. wished there were more of his lecture videos..
Great Legendary personality with so much humbleness imbibed. He is a peak of peaks, sweetest of sweet, Scholar of the scholars. Sincere Pranamams to his feet🙏
Great words from BMK. I used to wonder why some of the stalwarts -better not to mention the names- used to be so disconcerting for a lay man. He stands out from that group anyway. Hindustani sounds more clear.
There is one more video of Dr.M Balamuralikrishna aired in the UGC programme of doordarshan around the same time, in the late 80s. Kindly post that also, if you have it. Thanks.

As TMK wrote a book, there is a lot of dirt in Carnatic music. Due to that.

King of voices
Srividya Ramanath why do you tamilians teach music only to other tamilians?
that's not a true fact sir.
i am not sure what you are referring to here!
like i said - there is no barrier, for any arts.
if you dont mind, please write to me further at srivivenkat@gmail.com
Will write srividya, thanks much.
MBMK was a Telugu man from Andhrapradesh
Great musician,❤. Carnatic music lovers.
Greatest musician for our time still living in mind of all Carnatic music lovers
Watch this and then go to semmangudi's music. Semmangudi's voice culture was a disaster unsuitable for music. But he became a phenomena and tradition.
Semmangudi culture is politics more than music culture. Unfortunately people consider him as pithamaha
Semmangudi was a phenomenon and a musical genius rare to come accross. I prefer to listen to him sing with abandon endlessly with amazement and self absorption.

True
if sound quality is not good, it is not a suitable voice
మళ్లీ ఎప్పుడు చూడగలం ఇలాంటి మహానుభావులను
BMW makes clear digs at other established musicians, but all these points are valid.
😀😀👌👍
Thanks to Dr. BMK I listen to Carnatic music, mostly his renditions :)

Good to beginners....
4:57 to see his vocal range and application
and 6:08 to see how he smoothly trnsitions to so called "false voice" range.
7:47 couldnt find any tutorials to see how this technique is fundamentally different from singing at lower speeds
We miss u sir... God meeru
Well explained
The long breathing demonstration ..OMG..
