Lalgudi Jayaraman (1930-2013) was one of the finest South Indian violinists, who, along with a great solo career, accompanied many leading Carnatic vocalists, such as M.D. Ramanathan and Maharajapuram Santhanam. Here Lalgudi, accompanied by his sister Shrimathi, weaves lyrical and conceptual forms that transcend the South Indian genre to touch upon the universal. The great classical violinist Yehudi Menuhin was once so impressed by Lalgudi’s playing he gave him his own violin.

Lalgudi Jayaraman (1930-2013) était l'un des tout meilleurs violonistes d'Inde du sud, qui, en plus d'une grande carrière solo, a accompagné de nombreux chanteurs carnatiques de renom, tels que M.D. Ramanathan et Maharajapuram Santhanam. Ici, Lalgudi, accompagné par sa sœur Shrimathi, tisse des formes lyriques et conceptuelles qui transcendent le genre carnatique pour toucher à l'universel. Le grand violoniste classique Yehudi Menuhin a été tellement impressionné par le jeu de Lalgudi lors d'un récital qu'il lui a donné son propre violon.
