Sorry to hear the news! I had heard he was dealing with health issues in the past year, but was still actively performing in recent months. Condolences to his family!

Really shocking. His ghatam is unique in its metallic tone and will remain in the memory of thousands of carnatic rasikas for a very long time to come. Deepest condolences to his family and the entire rasika community.



The last concert that I heard him play live in June 2012

Sincere condolences.

I had attended programmes in Mysore/Bangalore in Carnatic music, light music, Bharatanatyam, Kathak etc. where Vid.Krishnamurthy had played a variety of percussion instruments. He was known to be a very likeable accompanist.
He worked in AIR Bangalore in recent times.

Sincere condolences!

Have heard him accompany artistes many times over the years. He could have lived much longer. He wasn't old either.
Sympathies to the family, students and friends.

An extremely simple person and a wonderful Ghatam Vidwan who also occasionally played Mridangam. Heartfelt condolences

Deep condolences. Very sad.

Very shocking news. I have heard him many times. His Ghatam had a distinct nadam. May his soul rest in peace.
He has lost considerable weight since this video and the picture in post # 4
