With a view to promoting and preserving the heritage of Carnatic music, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan inaugurated the TAG digital listening archives recently. The archives will be equipped with 2,000 hours of live concerts of different Carnatic musicians since 1940.
The listening archives have been specifically designed so listeners can listen to the music of any artist pertaining to any year, composition or any raga of their choice, available in the archives. The concerts are a collection of RT Chari, who is the Managing Director of TAG Corporation.
The archives will feature 6,000 songs of different musicians.
KN Ramaswamy, Director, Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, said, “The objective is to not lose out on any of the music collection. This is a contribution to preserve music for the future.” Ramaswamy further explained that the uniqueness of the archives was that one could select a particular musician and a particular raga of that musician to listen.
“ They archives will enable scholars, music lovers, and students to access and listen to some of the great exponents of Carnatic, classical, contemporary, vocal and instrumental music,” he added.
A subscription fee of Rs 200 has to be paid per annum to use the facility.
