Now you can hear all of them on this site, thanks to Sri K N Sundaram who sent me the music samples with grateful acknowledgements to Sunaada Cassettes, who produced the cassette for Lord Venkateswara temple at Pitsburg.
MusicalNirvana now shows an expanded list of Carnatic Raagas - more than a thousand in number. Links to discography for each raaga and music samples for many of the raagas are coming next. Thanks to Sri K N Sundaram for providing the basic list.
Sangita Kala Acharya S Rajam is one of the most versatile artists - a great Carnatic vocalist, musicologist and painter.He gave shape to the 72 Melakartha Kirthanas of Koteeshwara Iyer and recorded all of them ( 72 Melakartha Krithis - Audio Samples).
