Prince Charming of Carnatic Music-- It is needless for one to explain who am I referring to... For a man who is still heard despite his death in 1965.... Connect to any media viz., newspapers, internet so on and so forth... not one word shall be missed in music fraternity without the mention of GNB...... the inmitable style, the garland of brikhas, not even a stance of concert getting bored... these and some more would add to one of the finest masters of carnatic music.
Several musicians who followed his style left in the interim for many a reason that would keep pondering..... There is still one who hasn't left this style and bhani as they say... and the immediate name that comes forth is SRIRAM GANGADHARAN.... a flautist turned musician without a proper GURU still makes a commendable job concert after concert. It was refreshing to hear this man perform for the first time in the MUSIC SEASON 2008 starting a fresh in Brahma Gana Sabha. Right from start till the end, there were reasons for the audience to sit up straight and listen without sounding bored, whether the KAMAS, or the RANJANI NIRANJANI a sahithyam of the late master Sri.GNB in raagam Ranjani, where he took the entire audience to rapt attention deserves special mention. The audience is looking forward for many of his other concerts as well.
