Musician's Man Thy M.S.Viswanathan
Musician's Man Thy M.S.Viswanathan
If there was one person who composed for the musicians it was the one and only MSV. He used to see the musicians present and compose a song based on that.
It wasnt that alone which made him a muscian's favourite.
It was his creativity that made everyone long to work for him.
M.S.Viswanathan was the first composer to introduce his musician thru the parts of his music.
Audience would go spell bound to hear Prasad's tabla.
Nanjappa's flute, Mangalamurthy's Accordion or Sathyam garu's shenoy (aalayamaniyin and many more songs), Mandolin Raju (he did more than mandolin),Trumpet Thomas, Guitar philips, Noel grant, Thumba shekar, Saibaba, Sadhan, Meesai Murugesh, Henry Daniel, Joseph Krishna,Govardanam master,Shyam, Bongos Gopalakrishnan,Ganesh(shankar) and many more of such kind.
Audience could identify each musician in every song. It was said that those days there used to fans for not just MSV but for Bongos Gopalakrishnan , Mangalamurthy's accordion play.
This shows the wide range of Musical Instruments this man was using in his compositions and thus each player showcasing their briliance ..
His creativity was limitless thus he could come up with a tune with more instruments (Enge nimmadhi) or he could do with just 2 or 3 like Odam nadhiyinile.
This man has used wide range of instruments of which few instruments does not exist anymore.
Piano - Enna enna vaarthaigalo, Athan ennathan, athanin,paaduvor and many more
Thumba --Sekar in man kanda sorgangal is a classic by itself..
This man's instrument usage is unimaginable..
Listen to bharathi kannamma neeyadi -- Prasad's tabla is a master piece..
Flute -- That is another topic by itself. (infinite number of songs with flute...)
This composing genius was not limited to the instruments but he used Sadhan,MSraju , Meesai murugesh & saibaba as instruments.
Whistle, sound effect, mimicry and what not.. There is not a single thing tha this man hasnt tried..
His successors just followed him in usage of instruments but the way he treated the musicians or they way he credited them no one else did and this is the FACT.
