Hello, can anyone give me some info on where to get good classical music and old tamil movie music CDs in Chennai? My father used to get very good records in those days from Lakshmi musicals on Mount Road. Is that shop still around?
Music world, spencer plaza Land mark, nungumbakkam Giri trading, close kapleeswarar temple mylapore Ofcourse now chennai has many friendly neighborhood cd and dvd shops in all localities.
maloo avm's shop still exists on ttk road old ones i think you can get from AIR as well as shruthiyalaya on oliver road. kindly specify genere or artistr and i shall ask musicologist sriram
> Thanks Venkat..where to buy AIR? And musicologist Sriram, the guy who wrote 'Carnatic summers'? What a wonderful book!!
Air is selling its old recordings. sriram was a guest of honour on our PS function. he read out a review by kalki on the play prahalada. hilarious.somebody must put it on youtube.
Hi Venkat, am looking for some really old singers for my father's collection..T Brinda T Mukta, Alathooor Brothers, Musiri Srinivasaier and so on (AIR released one or two cds which we have). We looked in Giri Trading and also Landmark (my father calls landmark the kothaval savadi of books and cds, so disorganised).
If you can ask Sriram and let me know really appreciate it. Glad to hear that AVM shop is open..they used to have very knowledgable people there.
I find the claim about Trojan horse kind of hard to believe. I have been using that site for past couple of years. The downloads used to be free, but recently, due to leeching by others, they have installed a more equitable mechanism. Perhaps your virus detection is confusing it with a Trojan. I have never had problems, and I have a set up that is completely paranoid about viruses and Trojan horses (with up-to-date fire wall, virus protection, intrusion detection etc.).
Malathi You can try "Sampradaya" on Musiri Subramaniam Road(Oliver rd.). They have archives of all yester year concerts, records. I think they allow you to make copies not very sure though. Shobha
Don't know about that..i have two laptops and tried it on both - one with NAV and the other Avasti - they ltierally screamed virus alert at me. I got it cleaned up, not going there again. Perhaps if you are a registered customer it takes you to a redirected URL that does not have the virus, but in any case downloads always carry that risk. Given the additional work of making cds, i'd rather pay for a recorded one.
