Please listen to two renderings of 'Sarasa Saama Daana', the Tyagaraja composition in Raga Kapi Narayani. The first one is by Semmangudi Srinivasa Iyer (1908-2003) and the second by Maharajapuram Santhanam (1928-1992). I remember a friend from the North asking what difference two singers can deliver when the Carnatic singers are destined to follow the compositions so strictly. These songs have been uploaded as one track for that friend and he replied to me that both carry totally different signatures and each represent different 'Gharanas'.
