Pancha Matanga Mukha & Other Musical Treasures🔹Dr. M Balamuralikrishna🔸A Vintage Live Concert 1979

🕉️Welcome to a rare musical treasure from 1979, featuring the legendary Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna in a memorable live concert, accompanied by the distinguished Sri. Annavarapu Ramaswamy on violin and Sri. Tanjore Upendran on mridangam. 🕉️This recording is lovingly presented as a musical offering in celebration of Ganesha Chaturthi 2026. 🕉️The concert begins with an elaborate and deeply devotional invocation to Lord Ganesha — Pancha Matanga Mukha of Muthuswami Dikshitar, rendered in the majestic raga Malahari. Dr. Balamuralikrishna unfolds the kriti with great depth and imagination, adorning the composition with beautiful kalpana-swarams—like offering choicest flowers at the feet of the Lord. 🕉️From Ganesha, the music turns to his divine father, Lord Shiva, through Tyagaraja's profound Nada Tanum Anisham in Chittaranjani. The musical offering then turns toward the beloved Saint Tyagaraja himself, with Dr. Balamuralikrishna's own composition, Samagana Sarvabhowma, in Amritavarshini—a fitting tribute from one great musical mind to another. 🕉️The concert then unfolds into a rich and varied musical journey, presenting compositions of Tyagaraja, Annamacharya, Vanakutti Raman Pillai, Sadashiva Brahmendra and Jayadeva, along with compositions of Dr. Balamuralikrishna himself. From the soulful Nagumomu Ganaleni and the graceful Narayana Te Namo Namo, through Smara Varam Varam, Jayadeva's exquisite Ashtapadi, the sparkling Kadanakutuhala Tillana, and finally the concluding Mangalam, this vintage concert offers a wonderful glimpse into the breadth, spontaneity and artistry of Dr. Balamuralikrishna's live music. 00:00 Concert Repertoire 00:00:07 Pancha Matanga Mukha — Malahari — Rupakam — Muthuswami Dikshitar 00:19:45 Nada Tanum Anisham — Chittaranjani — Adi — Tyagaraja 00:24:43 Samagana Sarvabhauma — Amritavarshini —Rupakam — M.
