Ah, thank you. I really enjoyed the last Balachander album you posted.
Thank you!!
o.m.g., how amazing, wow!!!
Thank you seems so inadequate for all the treasures you share, but I thank you nonetheless!
Thank you for these two Balachander albums. He's the greatest veena player I know...
Thankyou...
thank you - I have a scratched version of this album which I have been listening to since 1986! Did he ever complete the 10 albums of this raga he set out to do..mentioned in the liner notes? There is so little of his work around.
if you put the name balachandar in Amazon, for example, you find 8 Volumes on CD, most of them containing one and a half LP.
Tawfiq Bhai, Adrive links not working,
Thanks
All 72 Melakarta Ragas were released as 12 LP's. Following SB's demise, HMV/EMI/Saregama came out with a box set of 6 CD's from the masters of these LP's. Should be available online. SB's grandson (my son) Baradwaj Raman is following his grandfather's tradition on the Veena. Look for him on Youtube - Baradwaj Raman Veena
Thanks very much! I'd like to offer you six cassettes of Balachander

Hey Allan,
I have the HMV cassettes (that were originally released as LP's and later re-released as cassettes). Most of these have seen another release by Saregama in CD format. You should be able to find them on the web.
A more recent posthumous release that you could buy online is found at Amazon:
