Nādabhṛṅga is very glad to share yet another extraordinary concert by the Titan of Carnatic Music, Mahavidwan Sriman Ariyakkudi Ramanuja Iyengar in impeccable recording quality. This was a wedding concert at Srirangam, sometime in 1957. Unfortunately the second half of this tape seems to have been lost to posterity, and hence the concert is incomplete. The programme details are:
