Violin Maestro TKV Ramanujacharyulu Sir teaches how to play the notes of the mayamalavagowla raga on violin. More kruthis and ragas to come stay tuned. I recorded this on a sunday afternoon after he has returned from a concert
My last video was about the rendition of TKV sir's mayateeta swaroopini in mayamalaava gowla ragam. This is about basics of putting swaras. For beginners, he says that it is important to practise swara's without talam so that you can recognize & create 3, 4, 5, etc swaras. Once you master them then you can practise with talam. Listening to this I felt that even I can learn swaras!
Violin Maestro Sri TKV Ramanujachayulu Sir plays todi ragam. This is one of my favorite raagas. Very few can play this raga as beautiful as TKV sir. It needs lot of involvement and understanding of music for decades to come up with some of the sangathis that TKV sir played.
In this video TKV Sir plays the ever green kruthi of Saint Tyagaraja - Samaja vara gamana. This video starts with a brief raga rendition. Observe how he played very difficult phrases of Hindolam with great ease.
TKV Ramanujacharyulu Sir, the violin maestro, performs mayamalava gowla kruthi (of Sri ponnayya pillai) - maayaateeta swaroopini. The tonal quality and the purity of notes are impeccable.
TKV Sir rendering the master piece Bantu reethi (Hamsanadam - ragam). Observe the clarity and purity in this rendition. You'll be amazed by that. This is one of my all time favorites.
