Sorry folks, I found the writing quite bad. So many banalities!

Some examples:
Ramakrishnan Murthy has always been considered a good bean. There was further evidence in his concert for Kartik Fine Arts that the brew promises to be exciting too. His overall game plan was good. A facile voice and focus on aesthetics led his march to what would easily qualify as an above par concert.
Challenging genre of pallavis is a self-test most youngsters are subjecting themselves to — Ramakrishnan Murthy will also need to climb that peak sometimes.
It will take a few experiments for Ramakrishnan Murthy to strike a good balance between aesthetics and exhibition of expertise, neither of which is dispensable.
Felicitous? Or facile?

But this pretentious writing style has become the norm in newspapers such as the Hindu these days.
Usually, I consign these to the groan-worthy pile and promptly forget about them....

Nice writeup of RK Murthy , with a center page spread of photo in Dec 28 2018 edition of The Hindu. The Hindu writeups are very very important that too giving more space for words and pictures. This person Lakshmi Anand last week gave vijaysiva and this week RKM, she has researched well.

Concert review writeups were max is say years 2006 to 2012 timeframe . Those days for sure when an artist had a bit So So review immediately the system works and there was a aha oho review published again. Some of you may recollect the three fourth of paper size with atleat two days of exclusive concert reviews . Nowadays reviews in The Hindu have considerably gone down in count. The HINDU reaches still 2 million plus rasikas.

This year The Hindu has given a concert review and also this lovely biographical write up of TKM. This vidwan has to be aurally heard .

I have been following his growth from the early days in Chennai and what strikes me most is that his vidwat was always ahead of his performance technique.
