Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi

The Lalgudi tradition of classical music needs no introduction to music connoisseurs, since its richness in aesthetics, melody, patantara, performing perfection, and absolute laya control have been deeply etched in the minds for the past more than six decades ever since Padma Bhushan Lalgudi Sri G Jayaraman entered the scene of Carnatic music as a young violin artist. Lalgudi G.J.R. Krishnan and Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi, the children and worthy disciples of the great maestro are superb standard bearers of this unique Bani that is perhaps the most eloquent in capturing the mood and essence of South Indian Music. Vijayalakshmi grew up in atmosphere reverberating with rich music.
