I can't stop listening to his performances on KZfaq. I have no idea what he's singing/spinning but the music is so complex and layered and beautiful. The musicianship is astonishing. And I will add that even without understanding the context (or even knowing much about Carnatic music), I've been turning to TM Krishna all throughout NYC"s 9 month lockdown because it feels familiar, like something that's been with me for much longer. I know it doesn't make a lot of sense, but count me a fan. This guy is crazy talented

I felt that if someone suffers with high blood pressure, they can bring it to normal by just listening to this rendition

With due Regards to all great musicians, no one has dared to explore the krithi in this way to bring out such an excellent piece. Going in the untrodden path will open new avenues. That is what TMK has done. The so called Bhaani would have denied us this experience. As rightly said Bhaani should contribute to embellishment , otherwise nothing wrong in such explorations. As for as music is concerned there is no violation as long as you stick to the discipline provided to you in the format within which you can have indiscipline to excel and entertain. Mr.TMK my pranams. Madam Subbulakshmi, great job done in your role. God bless you with more such eventd

He is not singing, he is painting a beautiful picture ...... What a talented person..... God bless you sir......

Between 8:25-8:30, akkarai played the charanam that comes later in the keerthanam ....but still tmk told it to her very silently that thing ...and did not compromise the sangeetam by stopping....that's the greatness of these musicians

His concert is like a jugalbandi of vocal and violin.. no supiriority to vocalist and violinst .all team are flowing together in to the ocean of ultimate music divinity .

What amazes me is he is criticized for saying lyrics (sahitya) is a deterrent to music reaching the common folk. Yet this is the most clear rendition of the song I have heard. Not a single word one couldn't hear clear 😍

I am surprised by the number of unwanted criticisms...in the list below..when some one is so bold to experiment in front of an audience..why cannot one appreciate it...is it because they cannot do it themselves...!!!...I um unable to understand as to why so many people want to expose and advertise their physiological problems !!! This is simply an excellent..presentation with immense depth..no other words at all.

This is total mathematics here. This guy is sending mathematical series and sequences in air through his vocal cords.

His singing is both carnatic and divine filled with bhakti in one place. If one is sensitive to the emotions produced by the lyrics and his singing notes they can feel it just like he feels it. That's the unique singing by one and only T M Krishna Sir ❤❤❤🙏

The most academic way of rendering this keerthanam. Really wonderful

Highest level of bhaava, musicality and musicianship that you will ever see. Exquisite rendition by TMK. It's incredible how he gives space to all his accompanying artistes and they respond so beautifully each time.

If anyone wants to learn this mesmerising song, then video is for you. Take a bow to TMK. Everyone on stage Akkarai ma’am, Praveen & Purushotham you guys are fabulous.

I feel this kriti sets TMK a big come back from his forced exile so far.What an exposition!!. Spell binding.What a beautiful goose pimples producing niraval for 'Om kAra pancha'.Equally challenging play by Akkarai Subbulakshmi.one of the best recordings heard in the recent times. TMK PLEASE KEEP up this mood,pace and enthusiasm of yours to enthrall audiences like me.

7:00 to 8:15 is sheer magic! never knew such simplicity in orchestration could be so overwhelming!

I have heard TMK in concert five times now and each time he has produced sublime music. The man seems to refuse to produce anything pedestrian or mechanical.

TMK's passion and bhakti is fully evident in the rendition. Soulful singing. Long live the genius. Akkarai as a coartist is sublime. Listener attains full moksha.

Holistic romance of voice n violin.. it’s a devine to watch u singing n u allow her enjoy her favourite piece on violin... ur silence in between cos u love particular lines so much that make u go silent for a minute it’s so truthful even being a listener it just makes us go blank.. being a vocalist no wonder u feel it so devine.. u r a blessed singer. I am far blessed cos we listen to this almost everyday now.

TMK renders the kriti packed with bhaava and laya. Great support from Akkarai Subbslakshmi. Great job by FEA. Sublime music. Superb delineation of Nattai.

Amazing. Deeply involved. He became so emotional at the sahityam penned by tyagarajaswamy..he has a different style.. excellent gem of a person.

"Omkaara Panjara Keerapura": That brought me in tears!!! Simply brilliant.... brought me a step closer to the divine...

This helped me learn this pancharatna kriti, lots love from Sri Lanka

He never gives songs he gives something more than that which can cultivate many feelings.. Without our knowladge... Which can heal anything ,Which takes us out of the world... Tmk sir 🔥🔥🔥❤❤🖤🖤

Probably the best version I’ve heard ,Thanks very much Sir!

such an effortless singer, great voice. the admiration can be seen through the eyes of the girl behind her. He deserves the music academy's accolade and more, what is the problem fellow singers?!

TM K can be given BharatRatna only for this rendition....May my universal mother, Adhi Shakthi, Maa Kalaivani..bless him with health, prosperity, more accolades and his generations to be successful. May my beautiful goddess who killed mahishasura safeguard him forever. Irrespective of whether TMK believes in deities or not; whether he loves Periyar or not, whatever ..we respect & bow to his energy, intent and passion for music...

I never knew classical music music could be so smooth and soothing and the manner in which everyone comes together !

This rendition is truly superlative. So much rasa and bhava. The sincerity and meticulousness with which he adorns Raga Nattai with emotion is astounding, truly moved me to tears in parts. Heartfelt gratitude to the musicians and to FEA for bringing alive Thyagaraja's epic Pancharatna Kriti to life with such grace.

The slow rendition will help students who are wanting to learn the Pancharatna Kriti...moreover he is totally immersed in the rendition...God bless...🙏🙏

Nothing to say,.....Beyond words....Magical singing🤩😍👏

love from pakistan #respect ustaad jee

Such a delight to listen to a slow-paced Jagadanandakaraka: a moment of poignance at 6:47, and all the repetitions of that note are so completely explored in this pace. Thank you FEA for this!

Every note enunciated so clearly, so purely. Not that I know. I felt so. Thankyou for the elaborate, vivid, musical journey. God bless all.

I was astonished in yesterday's program . Climate was so adverse,heavy rain, even reaching that place osana mount little interior to pala town was difficult.Again program was an experiment with Gurudeva kritikal.But the participation of the audience in good number till the end of the program and their enjoyment really surprised me.Iam so happy in the progress of your pure music.Kudos to TM KRISHNA.

எனக்கு கர்நாட்டிக் சங்கீதம் தெரியாது இருப்பினும் கிருஷ்ணா சாரின் சங்கீதத்தை ரசிகிறேன். பெரியாரின் வரிகள் சிந்திக்க சொன்னவர் பெரியார் அந்த கீர்தனையை பல முறை கேட்டிருக்கிறேன். கேட்டுக்கொண்டே இருக்கிறேன். 🙏💯🎁

Every sangathi is so clear. Akkarai ma'am you are so inspiring. Tmk sir please keep teaching students like me to sing in chowka kaalam. So beautiful sir.

Sister is an excellent violinist for t. m krishna very nice function thks. Mr krishna when I hear your voice my soul is melting

In his own beautiful style . No comparison with anyone as he has his own uniqueness in exploration and presentation .

Aaah deep sigh. Day is made. Meditation on nattai done. I wonder if I will express gratitude every night for rest of life to tmk sir and akkarai ma'am and rest of artists just on this masterpiece. Don't know. Full sashtang dandwat

FIRST TIME HEARING SUCH A EXHAUSTIVE PRESENTATION OF A PANCHARATHNA COMPOSITION OF SADGURU THYAGARAJARU, HATS OFF,

Wonderful performance. Great Musician. I praise and love his passion for music. Alaapana is presented in different angles. He is experimental for new innovations. Words are insufficient to praise his talent. He is Master of Music

Tm krishna sir's manodharma and the 🎻 violin is just awesome 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

என்ன ஒரு அற்புதமான குரல் என்ன அருமையான சங்கீத மேதை. இறைவன் இவருக்கு நூறு ஆண்டு ஆரோக்கியமான வாழ்க்கை அருள வேண்டுகிறேன்.❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Listening TMK and watching Akkarai is a double treat.

This is just divine...has helped me pass many blissful days! (feel you Brian C.) People finding minute errors in the lyrics are the same people who when given a princess cut, flawless D grade Diamond will spend the time looking for sub-microscopic carbon specs rather than admiring its beauty!

Akkarai ma'am smile and her playing. Most respectfully devastated. Tmk sir please have akkarai ma'am as violinist. Every note so clear. Every swaras in nattai is so clear. Shata koti pranams to both

Very enjoyable song, rendered beautifully with many marvelous intricate gamakas. Loved every moment of this rendition. My grateful salutations to Vidwan Sri T. M. Krishna and instrumental accompanists Vidushi A.Subhakakshmi, Vidwan Sri P. Sparsh, Vidwan Sri B.S. Purushotham and Vidushis Smt. B. Venkatram and Smt. G. Deshpande, who gave equally great performance. Thanks for sharing this great video.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏽👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👍🏻👍🏾👍🏾👍🏻👍🏻👌🏼🌸🌸🌺🌺🌸🌸🌺🌸🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Respected TM Krishna Ji, I see, you're praying and talking with Lord Shiva and Ganesha with mother Shakti in your heart, I feel inexpressible devotional joy,ecstasy,listening your Gayoki, "Onek Dhonyobad" apnake (to You),... [ from Serampore Hgly WB ]

Absolutely mindblowing performance! What a rendition! Pure ecstacy! Excellent accompaniments, violin particularly. God bless!

ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ಶಾಸ್ತ್ರೀಯ ಸಂಗೀತವನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ಮತ್ತು ಉನ್ನತ ಮಟ್ಟಕ್ಕೆ ಬೆಳೆಸುವುದಕ್ಕೆ ನನ್ನ ಕೃತಜ್ಞತೆಗಳು! :)

One has to mention the rythm provided by Praveen and purushottam in percussion. Very apt in the journey of music. A total experience. VOW.

It's amazingly subtle the way the audience is made to listen to Omkara repeatedly! Akkarai Subbalakshmi is a goddess in this!

What a musical masterpiece he creates. I feel that calling it "wonderful, excellent, superb, mind blowing" is an understatement. Need to look for better words if any. I am just mesmerized. God bless him.

Like a tea time conversation... They talking about different dimensions of jahadanandhakara... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Loved it....

He is G.O.A. T. Blessed to listen this kriti from him :-)

The tremendous efforts that have been put in to make this musical feat visually interesting is evidently visible . Thanks a ton and much more FEA ... ❤️

It is like a test match, going on and on and on and still every moment of it is filled with excitement.

Superb. Superb. Superb. No words to express. A new dimension is shown without any disturbance to the sangeetham and sahithyam. Akkarai Subba Lakshmi garu deserves equal appreciation. The silent communication between artists is astounding. Mridangam and Kanjira have given their superb support as per the requirement. God bless you all.

Wow.. What a presentation !!! what an innovative rendition !!! what to say bout the Bhava !!! Namaskaramas Krishna Sir... and to the Pakkam.. and Shathakodi Pranams to Saint Thyagaraja...

No Words, These Two Bright Stars keep lighting up the music stage. Every moment of this concert, enhancing the Glory of this Glorious Raga.

TM Sir's recitals are always soul piercing!! But his superlative exposition of the Tyagaraja Gem starting with "Omkara" - which is a poetic expression of the trinity (Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu) being as one in "Om" - is "Spiritual Ecstasy"!!

The mridangist Praveen Kumar is pairing extremily well with the vocalist

Wow, So many minds, but working as single unit, is awesome, No Words to appreciate

It is Devine, just close eyes and immerse oneself along with the Nadha surabhi.

Enjoyed this in slow paced singing. Always in super speed. Loved it. TMK awesome

Most satisfying Nattai and Tyagaraja swamy's pancharatna kriti blended in TMK's inimitable form...words fail to do justice to this amazing performance.....

Been listening to this everyday since 1yr ago, yet it doesn't grow tiring.. I think this magic happens at the stage very spontaneously without any prep , hence the quality.. The neraval s what I comeback to.. I suppose thats definitely not planned before the concert..should have been a delight to hear this live

I salute TMK for his encouragement of pakka vadyam performers

Violinist is leading the vocalist!! what a great rendition!!

So nice, so beautiful, super, excellent creativity, never heard before, so feel and bhakthi, very pleasant, whole presentation is in one range .... no words,

@12:10 Omkara ... neraval puts you in a trance! such beautiful, exquisite singing.

I may have ideological disagreements with Krishna but there is no denying that he is a genius

Nigama neeraja....mruthaja poshaka.... Words filled with amrutha are being showered on the listeners from this all time great composition

I am proud of TMK. Violin is very good

This is devine. No other words. I think I will cry every time I hear you this

I hope the government recognizes this masters contribution to the tradition of Thyagaraja and confers him the highest honours for rendering ancient Sanskrit Tamil and Telugu compositions and other masterpieces with such purity and devotion. He deserves a Padma Shree by now at the very least for upholding the cultural ethos of India.

Real master in carnatic music... amazing....

I don't know any basic of carnatic recital... but the rendering of kirthies l have been mesmerized.. Notably Bala murali,Maharaja puram, Jayashree and TMK

Trance in nattai. Goosebumps is understatement

you are making wonders in the Music field sir...Keep rocking and keep enlightening everyone through music..

Also - great job making this concert series look so good. Visually pleasing concerts make for an enjoyable experience ...

those emotions and that pause..bliss

Quite a beautiful singing of this Pancha rathna keerththanai. We pray at the feet of the ONE who is the praaNa Nayakaa of "Janaki " who is the root cause of giving 'aanandam' to this world. "Manian"

Blissful soulful performance and all artists are in perfect sync. Awesome rendition!

Very beautiful vocal rendition. Very Stunning. Karnatik music is tough and Younger Male vocalists are less. One star nearing Pt. BMK level is overwhelming! Violinist has also given stunning rendition/saath. Thx for sharing.

ఇతని పేరు ఎక్కడో వినడమే తప్ప ఇతడు ఇటువంటి సంగీత కళా కారుడు అని నాకు తెలియదు. నాకు కర్ణాటక సంగీతం అంటే చిన్నప్పటి నుంచీ చాలా ఇష్టం. ఆ సంగీతం లొ పడి పోవడమే తప్ప అంతకంటే నాకు ఏమీ తెలియదు. ఆడియోలు వింటానతప్ప వీడియో లు చూడను. వీడియో లలో పంతుళ్లు నామాలు పెట్టుకుని అహంకారాలు పోతూ మిడిసి పాటుతో పాడుతూ వుండటం చూసి చిరాకేసి చూడటమే మానుకున్నాను. ఈయన కు అవార్డు వస్టే ఆ సాంప్రదాయపు వృద్దులు చిందులు తొక్కారు ట. ఆ సంగతి విని ఇప్పుడు చూస్తున్నాను. ఇప్పుడు కూడా నాకేమీ అర్థం కాలేదు కానీ హాయిగా విన్నాను. ఇతడు సాధారణ దుస్తులతో, మాసిన గడ్డంతో పెర్ఫార్మెన్స్ ఇస్తున్నాడు. ఇది నాకు బాగా నచ్చింది. ఇతడు ఇలా సంగీతాన్ని ప్రజలు కూడా ఆస్వాదించే రూపంతో, లీనమై న గాత్రంతో, చక్కని కళా కారులతో నడుపు తున్నాడు. మీరందరూ ఏమంటారో ఏమో నాకు కర్ణాటక పాల్ Robson లా తోచాడు. ఇట్లాంటి కర్ణాటక మైఖేల్ జాక్సన్ లను కూడా నాకు చూడాలని వుంది నాకు. బ్రాహ్మల పంజరాలు పగుల గొట్టి సకల కళలనూ రక్షించలన్న అతడి కోరికను నేను కూడా పూర్తిగా కోరుకుంటున్నాను. కృష్ణ గారికి జయమగు గాక.....

Listening to this is so healing. Only pure devotion can offer an experience that is so sublime and divine.

he deserve to be great singer of decade

Both are enjoying while performing and all others are enjoying while listning. Wha

wonderful rendition.....No words to use for the appreciation.....divine.....Janaki swamy

Naturally talented ❤ Love you sir

Happy and pleased to here the Natia, and that to with violin played by Akkarai Subbulakshmi, whose family belongs to my native place Suchindrum. The body language expresses how you enjoy the Krithi and l am sure you wanted to be present the song Jagodha Nandhagaraga in the best format . Sri TMK it is not you sang this song. , there is an inner person who sings this through you.

Sukham,Sowkhyam--the hallmarks of Carnatic Music fully on display in this rendering!!

I listened to his singing just now.A beautifully decorated singing soul less body

I would appreciate if these 116 people who disliked the rendition come on stage to recite two verses if they are capable.

One of the best versions that I’ve heard.

The Mridangist nailed it!...... Awesome!

Praveen, Prushotham - you were extraordinary!!!

Naatai beautifully explored! Superb!

No words to describe this rendition..
