THE MOST PRECIOUS PAIR OF HANDS PERHAPS ??

What can one say when fingers produce such divine music ?? Here are some true vintage photos of lalgudi sir with some great musicians..

With K.V.Narayanaswamy and palani subramania pillai at taj mahal...

With semmangudi srinivasa iyer and trichy sankaran


With the world famous violinist Yehudi Menuhin...
Last week when I met him , he was impatient "Why do you keep referring to my accompanying.Have you not heard my Solos?", he demanded.I had replied" Yes , but that is like a master chef cooking in his own kitchen.While accompanying , you are cooking in somebody else's kitchen.And that matters a lot to me "Then , I noticed that he had grown warm to my explanation :) We listened to a Doreswamy Iyengar- lalgudi duet together for half an hour.
Listen to some fabulous accompaniment .. Lalgudi accompanying nookala chinna satyanarayana in a concert..
Full concert , sometime later .
