- Thodur Madabusi Krishna’s three-initialled renown as ‘TMK’ comes from his widely acknowledged stature as a vocalist in the Carnatic tradition. His musicality eludes standard analyses. Uncommon in his rendition of music and original in his interpretation of it, Krishna is at once strong and subtle, manifestly traditional and stunningly innovative.
T M Krishna regaled the audience at the Biennale Pavilion with his evocative rendition of the ragas and his own genre-defying, multi-dimensional compositions such as the Poramboke Padal supported by Vittal Ramamoorthy on Violin, N Guruprasad on Ghatam and B S Purushotham on Kanjira
accidently saw this one before going to office and had to take a day off to listen 2 hours
I wish every Carnatic concert was recorded like this. Quality visuals and super quality sound. The whole experience becomes so immersive.

wonderfu thank you
thank you
slumdogmusic thank you so much for the time stamps 🖖🏼
I had the golden opportunity to enjoy his divine voice with my family. Got a camera coverage at 19: 50 .I am so happy for this
The last two pieces really moved me. Tears of gratitude for sharing this priceless concert to millions for free.
Rendition of Soundararajam was surreal!! transported listeners to another plane...
I am hearing TMK the first time. Not only is his voice captivating, but he seems to be transported to 'The Beyond', and seems to take his audience to experience 'That'. Fully agree with sentiments expressed by Mr Yesh Prabhu
Definitely we are in Bhooloka Vaikuntam by the grace. Of TMK
TMK is an outstanding artiste in technical as well in aesthetic aspects. He is taking music to another dimension beyond the boundaries without any doubt.
I have been viewing comments with double standards from same people since 2000 on TMK. People blamed him for being too sampradaya till 2011 & the same people blame him now for going out of the box, when he started showing his Innovativeness.
From technical point of view, No one is 100% accurate in performing & currently there are bunch of experienced reputed performers inthe field rendering with 80% unrecognizable & inaudible sahityas. One error of inaudible sahitya in the stage performance is technically negligible because we cant comment on the artiste without knowing the complete set up of sound system.
Smt.Sudha Ragunathan sated once that...performer renders whats expected in regular manner is called artiste & who renders an unexpected miracle is called Maestro. TMK is undoubtedly the second variety.
Wonder full words...i like TMK. just like Ustad Munavar Ali Khan..
A very meditative and beautiful concert. The involvement and leisurely pace reminds me of the great M D Ramanathan. Krishna might be unconventional but his music is divine.
Looking at the way he sings, it seems that there's some great search going on inside him... his search will be fulfilled only when he start believing God..because God is the ultimate result of naadopasana and without realising if he keeps searching he has to keep looking forever... A greatest musician of our time.. esp. his rendition in brindavan saranga is out of the world
krishna great and great.
killing me and killing me softly...
There is no parallel to this Brindavana saranga 😍
Amazing!! TMK sir, your voice rendering and raga presentation is superb! heavenly music! no words to express...
thanks so much for posting this concert on youtube. can't stop listening to O Rangasayee. bliss
KRISHNA GREAT AS AN OLD MAN I PRAY ALMIGHTY FOR HIS GOOD HEALTH ..HE IS A GREAT SINGER....
How can I ever comment on such a rendition of Brindaavana Saaranga ? Such peacefulness, such calmness, such flow... Just out of the domain of words. The only question that remains in my mind is, How do you sing like that T M Krishna? How do you sing like that?
Hi Aditya Jois,
The same question arose in my mind several times as I listened to his singing: How does he sing like that? The only way one can sing like that is when the singing comes from the heart, not just from the throat. And when one forgets the audience and stops trying to elicit applause and, instead, sings immersed in raaga bhaava, and sings with sowkhya bhaava. Singing pleasantly with sowkhya bhaava is very important, otherwise why bother to sing at all? I think TMK knows this, that's why he sings like that. The way he sings can not be taught by a teacher. Just as a spider weaves its web using matter within its own body, TMK sings using the divinity in his heart. Heart is the place where the anaahatha chakra is. Every one has divinity in his heart; one must find it, and feel it, and only learn to access it, with relentless sadhana.

Absolutely Fantastic Concert! Excellent Videography. Excellent accompaniments. and TMK ❤️❤️❤️❤️
the language used by Mr raghunath is unbecoming of any civilised person especially to a musician of extraordinary talent.
simply so so great.. enjoying this great music more than a hundred times... love you...
SUPERB,AND I APPRECIATE HIM FOR SHOWING THE COURAGE TO AVOID MRIDANGAM. MANY TALENTED MRIDANGAVIDWANS ARE IN KERALA BUT MANY OF THEM ARE TRYING THEIR LEVEL BEST TO OUTBEAT THE MAIN VOCALIST.AND THE VOCAL CONCERT HAS BECOMING MRIDANGA CONCERT.A TRUE ARTIST WILL NOT DO LIKE THAT. THE GREATNESS OF THE MRIDANGA ARTIST WILL COME OUT WHEN HE IS ACCOMPANYING THE MAIN ARTIST. A CONCERT IS A GROUP WORK . EVERY ARTIST SHOULD CO OPERATE WITH THE OTHER ONE.MANY SPACES ARE THERE TO SHOW THE TALENT OF A MRIDANGA ARTIST.TMK WELL DONE
excellent concert lovely ambience..very meditative and soulful
simply superb and soul touching rendition.
For me , this concert is life 🤩
words are in a flow it cant be transilated to music,,
thank you,,, for introducing the different language,,
jp.
Beyond all words and expressions!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SATHAKODI PRANAMAM.
The world is progressing and so is music. The very essence he conveyed is that music shall also touch the marginalised people. Ultimately its Music and he is a master for sure.
A refreshing break from traditional concerts, esp. the kanjira without mridanga. Somebody must record TMK practising and post it.
Superp, no words to explain
Excellent komboji ragam.nice gamakams.
super great clasical singer of the world.
wah kya awaaz hain.
Although I do not see eye to eye with many eccenntricities of Mr. T.M.Krishna in spite of his great vidwat, I fully appreciate his boycotting Mridangam. Thyagaraja has said 'sogasuga mridangatALamu jathagUrci'. But nowadays most of the mridangam players ( I have purposely not called them vidwAns) insist on keeping the speakers at maximun volume thereby drowning the vocal or violin volume). They do this even in so called chamber music halls. How pleasing this concert is !! Every word and swaram can be heard and enjoyed. All senior musicians should boycott mridangam till the players discipline themselves.
True. It's all a noise fest with mridangam...for years now, only a very handful of people could really handle mridangam properly..all the others are just beating on it with such vengeance I can't even fathom what the instrument had done to them...
Good o listen.Excellent to keeep in heart
I consider Porambokku his masterpiece! Of course there are no words to appreciate the musical excellence. That can only be felt and enjoyed. But his innovative deviations constitute a welcome change in many respects. The language is not exactly Madras Tamil. It is contemporary and perhaps a little colloquial. But the song consists of words widely used everywhere.
Mesmerizing psychedelic atmospherics! I am in a trance!
understading world and persons is a different thing.
to you it is easy.
because it comes from heart....the real heart....
Amazing....

he ,krishna krishna what a voice, ha ha ha.super
Bravo. Cette vidéo est magnifique, magique. À quand T. M. Krishna en Europe ?
The Master (of) Karnatic music TMK
krish murthy ok
tm krishna ki jai ho.
TMK is a great star sparkles in Carnatic world. !!!!!!!! sorry is with Galaxy
super...........
இதை பார்த்தவுடன் மனது கேட்டதற்காக அந்த கால செம்மங்குடியின் ஓ ரெங்கசாயி லால்குடி வயலினுடனும் கேட்ட பின் தான் சமானமானது
Wowww what an ending! Truly a spectacular concert!
What is he trying to do? If he wants to sing Tamizh kritis, there are so many of them. Waste of talent? Or agambhavam?
I feel sorry for you sir for not being able to understand heavenly music.
You can feel the emptiness with out Mridamgam.... great scholars have set the Kacheri and it is not easy to jump that frame work.... As a Binalay concert this fine though..... especially with Purampokku song...... TMK is excellent an singer
mast n best.
In the rendition of Soundara Rajam I definitely hear suddha gandharam being used. For example around 1:12:24 it is very clearly audible in the kalpana swaram. Is this a usage of an Anya swara or is it a special version of vrindavana sarang
Soundara Rajam was rendered in a way that simply defies description. Majestically haunting is the closest I can come to characterising it! The Vilamba Kaala truly brought the character of the Brindavana Saranga to stark clarity.
soopar sir
The tani in ghatam followed the overarching mood of soft and sensitive one. Partially making up for the absence of Mrdangist Arun Prakash.
A quick doubt. Brindavana Saranga didn't sound like one. Though beautiful beyond anything, I didn't hear Kakali nishadam in it. He even happened to sing sadharana Gandharam, G2 in the swarakalpana. Sounds like Sree. Can anyone clarify?
Dhikshitar's magic...
His ragas are totally different from the ragas nowadays which are a mixup of both thyagaraja and dhikshitar. Ragas such as Sahana, in this case brindavana saranga (as also seen in rangapura vihara) Kannada, are very different, to such an extent that dhikshitar's Sahana in termed as a janya of karahapriya or Sri ragam. These are a few examples of the differences of thyagaraja and dhikshitar's schools (bani)...
1:56:37
very strange that when he sings the Poramboke song, the singer Sri T M Krishna is able to empathise with the words but at another moment he proudly states that he never looks at the meaning of a song when it comes to Thyagaraja krithis. Quite Strange...
I think you've misinterpreted his view. His point is that the Poramboke song will be enjoyable to listen to even for a non-Tamil listener. Just like the Telugu krithis are enjoyed by Tamil listeners without understanding much of the lyrics.
some of the accompanying artists find it difficult to cop up with TMKs slow tempo singing...i think so...the DRUPAD music lovers can also enjoy TMK.....
6:25. - 6:30 , Sangeetha Shivakumar . Maybe he was thinking about her while singing Brindavana saranga ❤️
If you want to hear real O rangasayee hear this. Just leave others
v were in (Bhooloka) Vaikundam with TMK for a change
Lyrics
And young RAJALAKSHMI SHENOY On THAMBURA!!. Why omit the lone girl of the bunch? and without Tambura you can not move forward
All art is about social change and creating a field for change and reaction in an audience. Am so happy, great musicians like Krishna are here to take Carnatic further sans caste and privilege. One doesnt need to be a believer to understand or expolate on bhakti. SOme of your comments reek of caste privilege.
I wish I understood Tamil!
q
hahahahaahahah funtaaaastik TMK
O Rangasayee and Porombokku one after another. Hope Thyagaraja's Soul is not hearing.
Wow! What a terrible thing to say, Sangameswar Iyer! Did you not feel the presence of the trio: Goddess Saraswathi, Narada, and Anjaneya himself, sitting by Sri TMK's side, on the stage, to listen to his singing? This is not "Aahatha" music one hears at almost all the sabhas; this is that rarest of the rare, "Anaahatha" music only Gandharvas and Kinneras are supposed to hear in swarga loka only. Through his devotion to music and saadhana, and Sangeetha upaasana, he has somehow managed to bring the anaahatha, celestial music, down to the aahatha level so that we mortals, not just the devas, devathas, and Kinneras, can hear it. At the level TMK is singing, there is no discrimination between "O Rangasayee and Porombokku"; even if he sang lines from the yellow pages of a telephone directory, Goddess Saraswathi would be pleased immensely. I am telling this as a rasika who has been attending concerts for more than sixty five years, in pursuit of "Ananda", and finally, after a long barren period, I finally experienced it.
Yesh Prabhu, Mylapore, Chennai
you remains hypocrite.... try to improve.....we all pray panchabhutha.....I feel good on this concept....and good carnatic value too. Please remember it is Biennale concert and not a fully classical concert. Give some freedom to artists and try to come out of those shackles....
You are an idiot. If yo'u don't like it, leave it. I ashamed an Iyer uusing such profane words..
Doctor, those who are in the ' knowing' knows everything. " एकं साङ्ख्यं च योगं च यः पश्यति स पश्यति॥"
drkrishnanradha Mr. Radhakrishna, Biennale doesnt mean that you can deviate from the path in any way you can. You are blindly coming to conclusions..
TMKrishna does not require accompaniments at all Instead of audience even the accompaniments artists are induced sleep They seem to have virtually no role in concert
udio is very bad. most of tthe time we see his gestures but not the music, atleast they should have two mikes.
Is he allergic to the tone of Mrudangam ??
What do we - the novice- do with people like you who understand everything and anything?
Hahaha...
Hi Raghu Nath,
No, TMK is not allergic to the tone of mridangam. When his usual accompanist Sri Arun Prakash is available, he seeks him out, as you can see him at so many of his concerts. I think both Sri Sriramkumar and Arun Prakash were away in USA for the Cleveland Aradhana. There are very few mridangists who can play with sensitivity, and play mridangam gently. Mridangam generates sunaadam only when played gently; when one beats the hell out of mridangam, it generates only noise, and not musical sunaadam. I think the ghatam player here, Sri N Guruprasad, did a fantastic job. When Sri Arun Prakash returns from the USA, you will see him again by TMK's side.

Yesh Prabhu hmmmmmm....
Looks more like you are allergic to TMK!! Do us all a favour and Stay away from it! 😷
True. He is a great singer. This might have had a positive effect on you. But music wise balamurali, Ms, sanjay subramanim, nagavalli nagraj give a 100 times better rendition. TM cannot sing fast. He covers it up with his expressions.
Of course he can. Please check his recordings from the First Edition arts channel. The way he has exposited Nalinakanthi raga is excellent.
KRISHNA NARAYANAN I love Krishna's music, man ,but to think him better than Balamurali is laughable. Balamuralikrishna restrained himself and sang for the audience. While Krishna and MDR sang for themselves. Which of the two approaches are better, I don't know. But suggesting that Balamuralikrishna can't match Krishna's "musicality" is just you being ignorant.
Singing fast is easier than singing it slow! Requires tremendous confidence and breath control!
Yes...there has been only two singers in the recent history who cud sing extra fast nd dead slow....TN seshagopalan nd M. Balamurali Krishna...guys like tmk do sing..but....
The only answer is you have not heard him fast.check first edition arts 2018 LEC manodharma part 4 in you tube
TMK...a sheer waste of natural talent. Am sure somewhere soon down the line in his musical career he will go back the out out traditional path of carnatic music rendition and presentation.
Raghu nath strange that you consider his talent a waste. Without giving an idea of what you consider wasteful and why!!
Hi Mr. Raugunath - Ignoring all opinon yours/mine/TMKs(social/political/religious) Can you show what is music.
Thanks
Raghu nath are you listening to the music or are you listening to the order in which he performs his music? In whatever way you look at it, your comment is irrelevant
laughable comment....and 10 years too late. he has already looked back and chosen the path of what Carnatic music is and should be.
Let's keep a bet sir.. it won't happen .. but even if it does whats the wrong thing...
He’s such a traitor
Amazing...
Divine music, really blissful to hear it....
