UN Concert
On October 23, 1966, MS Subbulakshmi, gave her now famous concert at the UN. I was listening to the speech delivered by the then UN Secretary General U Thant after the first portion of the concert had ended. He appreciated MS and her accompanists without naming them. He also later thanked T.Sadasivam who was among the audience.
I found it ridiculous that he didn’t name MS’ accompanists (V.V.Subramaniam, T.H.Murthy and Vinayakram) in the concert but chose to thank a person who was among the audience (though I understand the speech may have been written by someone else and Sadasivam’s name would have been added by possibly CV Narasimhan, the then Under Secretary General).
A report on the concert can be found here.
