Mangalampalli Balamuralikrishna - Thodi Swaraprastharam - 1960s

Enjoy this 23 minute marathon Swaraprastharam in Raga Thodi for Tyagaraja's Emi Jesithe Nemi in Mishra Chapu Talam. In my opinion, this is one of the most extensive and wholesome swaraprastharas ever, covering the various hues of Thodi, all bundled into an aesthetic package of an exemplary standard. This could be considered a one-stop lesson for any dedicated and serious student of Carnatic Music, which is the reason why I uploaded this snippet of swaras.

Violin - M S Gopalakrishnan
Mridangam - U K Sivaraman or T V Gopalakrishnan?
