I am delighted and humbled to have been
contributed some of my thoughts on various mezzo's including my
favorite artiste of all times Smt P Susheela. I would like to congratulate
all the members of the PS forum (SK, Manisegaran, A.A, Raj, Kalai,
Yvsean, Adhepalli) whose unwavering commitment/knowledge to collect
all PS songs and distribute them passionately in distinct musical
formats every week to the largest south asian audience, maintaining
the dignity without excessive interference capturing listener's
attention from the curent or bygone era. Its really a awesome task
to do every week and to popularly celebrate the contributions of
legends like Smt P Susheela.
Smt P Susheela's music has been always a positive influence as
she has dedicated plenty of pages of fabulous music to TFM and the
country. The echoes of her voice can still be heard today, as she
who had created a true "musical potrait" whether it be
a warm embracing, unique charm, cavalier fanfare, or mournful song
and her contributions continues to generate a rapport in the souls
of generation after generation.
P Susheela must be considered the greatest of the TFM singers of
the twentieth century and the early twenty first century, and she
certainly enjoys the the widest national popularity. Her achievement
was to bring together the music that derived its inspiration from
various composers with the classical traditions continued till date
by IR and countless others.
Her voice have always offered music of characteristically vital
energy relaxing where an academic material on playback singing could
be developed.
There will never be for centuries to come, a voice like that of
Smt. P Susheela, her repertoire, a celebrated artiste of our times,
and an artiste who scaled the heights and achieved a greatness for
over 50 years that is only now coming to be appreciated. She has
brought vocal qualities of both romantic beauty and passionate fervour.
To me she is a "Maria Callas" the greatest soprano ever
to be replaced.
With deep regret, I would like to inform you that I would be away
for quite a while, and would like to thank you all for giving me
an opportunity to express my views and my writing including passionate
criticism over the years. "Please shepherd the camapaign for
good music....and recognize the brilliant artistry"
I welcome mails from forum members and would reply promptly...
