Compared to the 3 current greats, TNK, MSG and Lalgudi, Lalgudi is the greatest. What versatality, what compositions , what thillanas. Very well deserved. None of the violinist have expressed such soul as he has

Well deserved recognition for a legend.

Suji, thanks for the article. It was very nice. I loved the part where LGJ says he wishes he were twenty five years younger, so he could delve deeper into music. Do tell more about your meeting with him.
