Dear Renu,
Violin was brought into Carnatic music by some maestros. In fact, after listening to Sri. Lalgudi Jayaraman play on his violin,
the violin maestro Yahudi Menuhin was spell bound and could not believe that such 'gamakam's could be played on the violin.
He presented one violin to Sri. Lalgudi as an appreciation for his talent.
And this is for you - Yehudi Menuhin plays MOhanam!!
Lord Yehudi Menuhin and L Subramaniam
Dear RR Ji,
I am hearing this as I type..It is nice.
I appreciate both Carnatic and Western music(I am trained in western music).
But even in western music I like fast and catchy classical songs and not really like slow types.
Somehow slow types can not hold my attention.
To be frank till date I have not even listened to one single song of Sitar Maestro Ravi Shankar..I don't know why..I somehow prefer listening to electric guitar cos it give us a jolt.
