As a conclusion to our Thiruvayyaru series we share this rare and important archival recording of the Tyagaraja Aradhana from 1959.

It is interesting to note that each of the pancharatnam was led by one artist (listed below). When noticed closely, their voice will be audible and recognisable.

To add to the experience, we have accompanied each of the pancharatnam with a 1950s/1960s video from the Films Division archives.

List of artists present in this Aradhana (deciphered from the video):
Vocal: Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar, Maharajapuram Viswanatha Iyer, Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer, GN Balasubramaniam, Alathur Brothers, KV Narayanaswamy, Embar Vijayaraghavachariar and Ramnad Krishnan.
Violin: Papa KS Venkatramiah, Mysore T Chowdiah, Lalgudi G Jayaraman, TN Krishnan.
Mridangam: Pazhani Subramania Pillai, Palghat TS Mani Iyer.

Through this initiative we aim to archive concerts by various artists and bring to our viewers the experience of listening to complete concerts. These concerts are carefully chosen from Vaak's archives and cleaned up for the best listening experience.

The purpose of this upload is to assist the students and the lifelong learners of India in their pursuit of an education so that they may better their status and their opportunities and to secure for themselves and for others justice, social, economic and political. This has been posted for non-commercial purposes and facilitates fair dealing usage of academic and research materials for private use including research, for criticism and review of the work or of other works and reproduction by teachers and students in the course of instruction. Many of these materials are either unavailable or inaccessible in libraries in India, especially in some of the poorer states and this collection seeks to fill a major gap that exists in access to knowledge.
