Lalgudi G.J.R.Krishnan

Lalgudi G.J.R.Krishnan, the son of Lalgudi G.Jayaraman, is a leading artist today. If the small, sleepy hamlet, Lalgudi, of the 30's and 40's has received international recognition today in the spheres of Indian art and culture, it can be asserted with no risk of contradiction that it is entirely due to the awesome contribution of violin maestro Lalgudi G. Jayaraman to the unique art form of Carnatic Music. While talking about the genius of Lalgudi one is reminded of a Sanksrit proverb which says "The cow is drawn by music, the child is lulled by it, the serpent is enslaved by it, the man who does not feel the power of music is only an animal without a tail". So is the man who does not feel the power of Lalgudi's music.
