Description

A loving tribute. A critical study of the distinctive styles and musical achievements of fourteen great masers of Carnatic music who appeared during 1930-65.

An illustrated book based on interviews held with the families, disciples and friends of the masters.
An unusual section of articles by the masters where they expressed their views on matters relating to music and musicians.

An unusual feature of this book is a collection of articles by the musicians themselves, where they have talked about their gurus and eminent vidwans of their time or expressed their views on matters relating to classical music. They should be of immense value to research scholars. In the ultimate analysis, the purpose of a book such as this is to tempt the readers to her the music.
