Veena master Kalpagam Swaminathan passed away

It is another great loss to the Carnatic music world as Kalpagam Swaminathan passed away yesterday. Her playing had such a depth and profound emotional intensity. I know it will always live on with us.
You can even listen to some of her renditions taken by other music masters and students on youtube. One example is this beautiful rendition in Surutti (a simply divine ragam).
Lalgudi Jayaraman’s Gati Neevani in Thodi — no words to describe
I have been enjoying this gem from the 1967 Krishnaghana Sabha concert where they have rendered the Lalgudi Pancharatnams in addition to an RTP. The whole concert is amazing.
So expressive… its hard to describe.

Voleti and MSS Renditions of Viriboni. Timeless!
For the Carnatic listeners out there. One of the most commonly sung compositions rendered with rare depth. I am a fan of both of these musical giants. Enjoy!
