The music
of the virtuoso Padmasri M.D. Ramanathan (MDR) was totally devoid of gimmickry
and spoke to the soul. The veteran inherited the musical parampara of Tyagaraja
through Tiger Varadachariar who was Patnam Subramanya Iyer's disciple, who
was in turn the direct disciple of Tyagaraja. His sublime music and his
unique voice penetrates the very core of every listener. MDR composed more
than 300 songs in Samskritham, Telugu and Tamizh. His Tillanas are simple
in structure with very beautiful lyrics. This product showcases a beautiful
Tillana in the raga Ranjani apart from other popular compositions composed
by MDR.
These compositions
have been rendered by Prof. P. P. Ramakrishnan (Vocalist, Violinist and
Musicologist), Retired principal of Chembai Memorial Government Music College,
Palakkad after 30 years of service in Sree Swathi Thirunal College of Music,
Trivandrum. He is the disciple of MDR and Padma Bhooshan Prof. T. N. Krishnan.
He has authored several books and is the recipient of many awards.
