How nice to hear about Madurai Mani Iyer! We all enjoy his rendition, but this video clip really narrates the intrinsic qualities which we never knew as to how to describe, This video gives such a beautiful exposure. ~ Stanley Smith from USA
excellent production by doordarshan..i dont know how this organisation maintains a high standard thro the years...fans of mani iyer will be thrilled by this vidio.....
My guru, Sri T N Bala, was a very senior disciple of Sri Madurai Mani Iyer. As I watched this video, memories of my guru talking about Sri Mani Iyer and his music, and his unique style of singing alapanas, nereval and swaras, overwhelmed me. On dozens of occasions, during my lessons ( I learnt Carnatic vocal from him for thirty years), he sang for me in Sri Mani Iyer's voice, one of Sri Muthuswami Deekshitar's Navagraha Kritis. He sounded so much like Sri Mani Iyer that it was astonishing. If anyone who attended Sri Mani Iyer's concerts heard the audio of my guru singing like Sri Mani Iyer, he would swear that it was indeed the great vocalist himself singing. Thank you very much for uploading this video. Like Sri Mani Iyer, my guru also was known for his absolute Shruti Shuddha. Yesh Prabhu, Bushkill, Pennsylvania
V.S.SIVARAMAN -age 71, HYDERABAD-There is no one could be compared with him. I appreciate another legend Sri Semangudi Srinivasa Iyer without any jelousy lauded Mani Iyer, shows how great the musicians. Many time I have seen great violinists like Lalgudi, TNK, MSG any more used to attend his concert even when they do not accompany him, to ascertain what sort of new sangadhis he creats in this particular kutcheri. Such was his gretness. What a genious, was he. We were mad after his concert for nearly 2 decades, not only we miss him many pamaran who could follow MGR and Shivaji also used to listen him would miss him.

But for madurai mani carnatic music could not to have been so popular and reached even lay man like me.
