In this edition of the ANI Podcast with Smita Prakash, we are honouring the dynamic musical partnership of Subramaniam Lakshminarayana and Kavita Krishnamurti, a couple who have elevated Indian Classical music to unprecedented heights.
Subramaniam Lakshminarayana, an accomplished Indian violinist, composer, and conductor, has been steeped in the traditions of classical Carnatic music and Western classical music. His discography, highlighted by the release of albums like "Global Fusion" in 1999, has garnered widespread critical acclaim. With over 200 recordings, Subramaniam has not only produced numerous solo albums but has also collaborated with renowned musicians such as Yehudi Menuhin, Stéphane Grappelli, Ruggiero Ricci, and Jean-Pierre Rampal.
Joining her is Kavita Krishnamurti, an acclaimed Indian playback and classical singer who has left an indelible mark on the music industry with a staggering 50,000 recorded songs in 45 different Indian languages. Recognized for iconic tracks like "Hawa Hawaii," "Bole Chudiyan," "Kay Sera Sera," and "Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast," she was honored with the Padma Shri award in 2005.
In this conversation with Smita Prakash, the duo reflects on their 25 years of musical partnership and its integral role in their love story. Kavita Krishnamurti delves into her journey from being a jingle singer to becoming one of Bollywood's leading playback singers. Meanwhile, Subramaniam Lakshminarayana shares insights into his unconventional path, obtaining an MBBS degree and later forsaking a medical career to pursue his passion for the violin. They also delve into the implications of artificial intelligence in the realm of music and singing. Subramaniam shares anecdotes of collaborating with legends like Yehudi Menuhin and Gangubai Hangal, while Kavita Krishnamurti reminisces about her experiences with stalwarts like Lata Mangeshkar, Hemant Kumar, and Manna Dey.

Dr. Subrahmaniam and Kavita ji, thanks for the insightful podcast. We enjoyed the concert of Dr. Subrahmaniam and Ambi in Cleveland a few years back. The auditorium was so quiet and the evening was so joyful . Can't forget that experience.

What greatness! Both of them When you have two guests of such high calibre and one of them is seen has popular and another eclectic it’s not easy to balance. But Smita ji managed it very well. She is not gossipy or fawning.

What a brilliant video. So needed. Schools and parents both need to organise sessions on bullying- although in my experience bullying still continues, at least it opens the door for dialogue and help when a school recognises this.

Amazing podcast with two legends of the music world!! 👏👏👏👏 Thoroughly enjoyed every minute! I was fortunate to have been travelling with Dr LS on one of his flights, I requested his permission to take his pic. I was amazed at his magnanimity when he requested a fellow passenger to take a pic of him with me. It is the humility of these artistes that make them the legends that they are 🙏🙏🙏

Wow!! I just feel that they don't make musicians like them anymore.......Kavita mam is so genuine and real, both their humble demeanor is a testament to their expertise in their respective genres. My favourite song of Kavita mam is "Pyar hua chupke se" from 1942- A Love Story. Lovely interview!!

Though I had watched the duo being interviewed in a lengthy show on Lallantop, yet I watched your show again because I am a big FAN of Smita who brings out the best out of her interviewees, and her research and respectful questioning is quite probing without being intrusive. Above all Smita too is a Kannadiga like me and also an NRSI-North Resident South Indian like me!

@oneness8648 4 ай бұрын

Fantastic, Brilliant, Amazing 👌👌👌......I had not known about Kavita Krishnamurthy, but yes was familiar with her songs, but I have heard Dr. Subramaniam around 25 years ago, and was familiar with him. I just happened to click on the trailer of this podcast, and was completely taken aback by the sheer insightful nature of discussions, which got me curious to know more, and especially of this simply divine couple who are in a complete state of flow even in their takes of silence. But, seriously it has to be said, Smitaji.....you really compered it beautifully. You were like a sculptor at work with your questions. Overall, there is so much in this podcast to learn from for people cutting across backgrounds, professions and age, about family bonding and devotion, love of art for the pure love of it, being comfortable with oneself. Towards the end, Kavitaji made a very strong point that much as she is a mother and daughter at home, she takes the same mind to work, which today is missing in the artists as they need to project themselves as something else, which is so stressful. That was a truly insightful point that was made. Here's a huge applause for churning out superb piece of work which will inspire all those who listen to it for a very long time. Jai Hind 🇮🇳 !

Great to see and hear two greats in music. I had a chance acquaintance with Ms Kavita Krishnamurthi when she was accompanying late Shri MannaDay. The duet ‘tu chupi he kaham’ song still resonates in my mind. The song has much variety and mood changes and it was a great treat ! Smithaji, you bagged a good one today! Two for one!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💐‼️

Beautiful! So much knowledge and experience in one room❤. In keeping with the musical couple theme, would love to see Vid. Kumaresh Rajagopalan and Dr. Jayanthi Kumaresh on the program. Both are Carnatic musicians par excellence! 🙏
