Sad Day for the music lovers

The Great Violin Maestro Lalgudi G.Jayaraman is no more.The music world has lost one of its pioneer.This year has seen the loss of two great violinists Shri.M.S.Gopalakrishnan and Shri Lalgudi.G.Jayaraman.I would like to share some of my thoughts on Lalgudi mama's violin.I still remember leaning the Ramanee samanamevaru(Karaharapriya ragam) piece from his recordings.The sangathis were mindblowing.I played the very same song in a thyagaraja concert.Though I could not do full justice to the song ,I was proud that I had the previlage of playing the same sangathis what the great maestro himself has recorded.

Lalgudi mama will always be with us through his compositions.I still remember playing the Mohanakalyani Thillana  when I was just 12 years.Till today I try to attain the perfection of the sangatis in the same thillana!

May his soul rest in peace and he will still continue to be part of our life through the music.....
