Kalyani

Will be nice if some one can identify the violinist

Sir, to me it sounds like a subdued TN Krishnan. In quite a few places, I can hear his unique gamaka/bowing effect. But the typical tuning sound (with pegs) is missing. And he generally has more exuberance.
And not for the first time, one could mistake VVS to be TNK...

Thanks so much Sachi

SR Janakiraman in a Lecdem talks about cycle of fifths producing kalyANi naturally - and wonders how some musicologists quote lakshana kArAs to claim this rAga is not suitable for tAya and Alapa.
