M.D Rananathan sir was indeed a genius. He has a unique voice and sings with extraordinary depth, especially in lower octaves. His exhaustive sangathis lingering around extensive range with subtle variation is par excellence. None can ever match his approach and delivery. Today's upcoming artist must listen to his concerts. I am blessed to have watched his live kacheris on many occasions ❤

Very happy to know there are so many fans for MDR, like me. I thought it is a very minority rasika crowd. I am wrong. He forgets himself 100% and immerses into Music. Musically Divine Ramanathan (MDR).
who could replace MDR,s soulful singing of Ritigowala, that too in mandara stayee. Every morning before star of the day if we listen his sober voice, the day will day will be cheerful. Having had the experience of listening to this genius live I still cherish the concerts. Thanks to the person posted this.
What a beautiful voice by Mr.M.D.R Sit in the morning? Thanks again for your perusal.Excellent performance.Congratd.Brilliant effects.Super performance.Amazing and Marvelous. Thanks again.S. Madhvan.
MDR's rendering of raga is unique. The effect is so resounding that it lasts in your memory and ears for a long time. I love MDR style and whenever I feel like hearing music it's always MDR first.
I feel an inexplicable joy while listening to this melody. Maybe it’s the magic of late Sri MDR’s voice. Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful rendition and famous rendition of MDR. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👍🏾👍🏽👍🏾👍🏽👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
MY GREAT LOSS IN MY LIFE IS.. MISSED A LIVE CONCERT IN TRICHUR.. MDR IS THE ULTIMATE ROUTE OF CARNATIC CLASSIC MUSIC.. .. (MDR'S SRUTHY MAY BE DIFFERENT.. BUT THE WAY OF DICSION AND PRONOUNCING AND GIVING EFFECT TO THOSE WORDS THROUGH SWARAAS..... (IN BHAVAYAMI .. EVEN IT IS IN MOHANA RAGAM....!!

mdr sir's speciality is his base voice, especially reethi gowla raga alaphana.nannu vidachi, paripaalaya &this janani ninnuvina- are his masterpieces!👍😃🎻🎼🎵🎤
What a beautiful voice? thanks again for your perusal. exellent performance.funtastic performance.marvelous.amazing very much.brilliant performance. thanks alot S.Madhvan.
GKK.. There are (and were) not many musicians who will be willing to place the raga's importance before their own ego? Present simply the ragam without much "aarpatam" or dramatical embellishment to make feel ones own importance? The voice.. I wish there are more who can use the base and add beauty as the great one did.. It takes a bit of getting used to, I wish you would be able to spend a bit of time listening to the voice a few more times and then you would start appreciating it for what it's worth! Once hooked feel the magic for yourself
THE ULTIMATE NAMASKARAMS TO KAANJI KAAMAKSHI BY YUVA THYAGARAJA MDRAMANATHAN SWAMIGAL.. AS PER MY SHORT KNOWLEDGE.. THE ONE AND ONLY DARED SANGEETHAVIDWAAN IN THE UNIVERSE.. EVERYBODY MUST FOLLOW THIS STYLE .. THEN ONLY PURE MUSIC WILL COME OUT..
Thanks again for your perusal.beutiful performance.marvelous performance.excellent presentation.fantastic. I feel very much happy while enjoying this beautiful performance.S. Madhvan S/0 A.K.Srinivasa Rao. Palamanery. thanks again.
Like with T R Mahalingam, so too with MDR you feel each phrase is developed from the preceding phrase. You can see the raaga and kriti develop phrase by phrase as opposed to just performing a well rehearsed and practised piece.
MDR is inimitable, yes. But, this rendition is truly an master-class of an exhibition of diligent use of farans... terrific stuff! Wonder who the mridangist! :)
The violinist is no match for MDR and surely detracts from the superlative performance. The Mridangam, on the other hand is an apt accompaniment for MDR. No one can hold a candle to MDR when it comes to singing Reetigowla.
I agree GKK. I have been trying to see a single pleasing concert by MDR but in vain. He simply cries without going to pitch extremities and even sri ragam which pleases everyone in his voice is not...
Sir though I am incapable of understanding the beauty of the Masters rendition right now I disagree with you about his voice... it's mesmerizing to say the least
Even many learned not able understand. MDR all-time. Akbar appreciated Thansen about singing. But Thansen I am nothing in front my Guru. Akbar requested to arrange arrange a concert he told no no we have go there & listen. Akbar asked why can't you sing like your Guru. immediately he told he singing not to satisfy any one only for God.

MELODIOUS and amazing voice. The accompanists are very much appreciated. Thank you.
Excellent rendition by the legendary vidwan Shri M.D.Ramanathan

Reethigowlai in its purest form. What tonal quality of the singer and the mrudhangam
A unique style all his own without a parallel.
Wonderful rendition by the great MDR - can listen any number of times with greater enjoyment!

One of the best renditions of this masterpiece, ever! Good audio too!
MDR voice though rock bottom but rose skyhigh with his rockmelting bhavam
Rock melting bhavam... that's perfect
MDR ONLY MDR VERY GREAT MUSICIANS
I am proud to say that MDR the great belong to our Palakkad.Long live his music.
Awesome & heavenly. Thank you for uploading.
most authentic rendering... what a great teacher
one of the rare and typical voice specially meant for the grandeur of classical music and i am really a fan of him
one of the finest renditions of this krti that i've heard... thanks a ton for sharing!
mdr has put his soul into
the rendition & with the same supplication of the composer Subbaraya Sastri.
True..nobody can say it better

A wonderful and unique style of rendering rethink gowla in vilamba Kaaba
Beauty by the Great Master.
Unhurried purity at its blissful best!
Every veteran has his own unique style. This is MDR`s own masterly rendering.
Divine music synonymous to MD Ramanathan ji
The Raagaas beauty is well brought out by the legend. Great singer..
The depth in his voice is ultimate and very unique....Dr. Balamurli comes close to this surely.. Lower notes Masters...
He has the vidwat and the music fit for kings
Beautiful. Thank you for the heartfelt translation
What a voice,really amazing
This should come first if we search for janani ninnuvina. Sadly I have to search for MDR's recording specifically to get here.
really leaves one speechless.
THE ULTIMATE NAMASKARAMS TO KAANJI KAAMAKSHI BY YUVA THYAGARAJA MDRAMANATHAN SWAMIGAL.. AS PER MY SHORT KNOWLEDGE.. THE ONE AND ONLY DARED SANGEETHAVIDWAAN IN THE UNIVERSE.. EVERYBODY MUST FOLLOW THIS STYLE .. THEN ONLY PURE MUSIC WILL COME OUT..

Rare to hear soulful music these days.
MDR forever!
it's a fact that MDR is matchless, on a different plain altogether
I LOVVVVVVVEEEEEE MDR!!! :) :) :)
Like with T R Mahalingam, so too with MDR you feel each phrase is developed from the preceding phrase. You can see the raaga and kriti develop phrase by phrase as opposed to just performing a well rehearsed and practised piece.
great observation, shankar gopal!
It is not just singing.It is Nadopasana.
shankar gopal h
there is no one before or after MDR for reethigowla
Thanks for sharing this masterful rendition. Pray, who are the accompanying artistes?
V soulful singing tq pm
pure gold
Sheer Bliss!!
Thanks for sharing.
Sublime...
Path to heaven!
Perhaps the tallest singer with slow pace
In this krithi practicing students can learn swara niraval from M D R sir.
For others merriment joy etc.,
Stay safe.
Superb
elated to heights of ecstacy.
MDR is inimitable, yes. But, this rendition is truly an master-class of an exhibition of diligent use of farans... terrific stuff! Wonder who the mridangist! :)
The one and only Palghat Sri Raghu..
Thanks for sharing
🙏🏼
absolutelymeltingmusic
canyou find & let us know the names of the accompanying artistes, pl.
❤️
I am totally absent in consciousness when with him
Oh, isn't it TK Murthy sir on mridangam?
The violinist is no match for MDR and surely detracts from the superlative performance. The Mridangam, on the other hand is an apt accompaniment for MDR. No one can hold a candle to MDR when it comes to singing Reetigowla.
Who doesn't ???
He could have used his sonorous voice in a more regulated, and smooth blending, depth manipulated to be more pleasing with bakti!
There's no need for the violin. If it's possible to remove the track, it will do good.
I agree GKK. I have been trying to see a single pleasing concert by MDR but in vain. He simply cries without going to pitch extremities and even sri ragam which pleases everyone in his voice is not...
Singing in a high pitch isn't everything! The sheer creativity of his music is more than enough to keep rasikas listening to his music.
J
Voice neither melodious nor pleasing.
GKK You must be an entry level listener of Carnatic music. After a few years of listening good music, you will be able to appreciate great music.
Sir though I am incapable of understanding the beauty of the Masters rendition right now I disagree with you about his voice... it's mesmerizing to say the least
Even many learned not able understand. MDR all-time. Akbar appreciated Thansen about singing. But Thansen I am nothing in front my Guru.
