Subbulakshmi's gamakas & prayogas

I'm listening to an interesting 5 CD set by Subbulakshmi "LEGENDS" "The Supreme" that includes cuts off her early films (how does one get view these?).

She's in stunning form at the beginning of her career.

However the quality of the Meera Bhajans do not seem as good as my lp.

But the 5 CDs are packed with music. What a feast for the ears.

There was a comment on

that talks about her "rare and singular gamakas and prayogas of both veena and nadaswaram" which led me to Haresh Bakshi on a Sanskit forum:
