MELARAGAMALIKA
This is a single krithi in ragamalika pattern .All the 72 parent ragams are given a few lines in exact sequence. Saregama (HMV) had recorded MS Subbulakshmi's rendering.and released it in 1978 as casette, CD and LP record.
The first part covers the M1 set of ragams and the second part covers the M2 set of ragams.

The small studio is packed with intent
listeners as the newly recorded mela raga malika sung by M. S. Subbulakshmi is played before sound engineers and scholars for final approval before its release. M.S. waits anxiously for guru Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer's verdict. Had he not taught her this rare and long piece years ago? As the spool winds to a close a beaming Semmangudi bursts
into applause thus setting his seal of approval on the achievement. With the release of this cassette, compact disc and LP record by HMV, a new life has been breathed into a legend that
had awed and mystified most vidwans and connoisseurs by the sheer complexity and magnificence of its design.....The article was originally published on April 12, 1989. We're republishing it as a part of M.S. Subbulakshmi Centenary Celebrations.

As it is a very long composition, irunning into nearly 1.5 hours(!), Smt MS had made it a practice to sing two chakras each in concerts . ( about 15 minutes). Thus she had rendered all the 12 chakras in various concerts much earlier.
There are youtube uploads of these concert recordings.
by Sankar Rajasekaran and Karthee Sharma.
