M.J.Srinivasa Iyengar

 

M.J.Srinivasa Iyengar


M J S (as he was known) is a recent discovery of mine. I cannot find alot of information in English on him but do know he was a very respected vainika who , after a long life, passed in 2013. 

The more I listen to veena, just like sitar, I recognize the wonderful nuances in the approach of certain schools (bani) as well as individual style. This mans playing is heavenly to my ears.

In the next post I will discuss some basic info on Carnatic music and the veena in particular.
Bless.
