Ganesh
and Kumaresh – the ace violin duo of
Carnatic Music, hit the headlines in 1972,
with their very first stage appearance at
the ages of 7 and 5. Over three decades, the
brothers have more than lived up to the
promise they showed at that debut, carving a
niche for themselves in a field where violin
playing has been taken to heights of
international excellence by great Carnatic
maestros.The brothers are unique. Their
violin technique is impeccable and
remarkable – powerful, precise with platinum
tonality and incrediblevirtuosity. Their
music is highly creative, vigorous and
stretches the seams of aesthetic
possibilities. Compositions flow with
precision, alacrity and a deep sense of
individual interpretation, raga alapanas are
essays of mystical originality, rhythmic
improvisations swell and descend like
cascades of radiance. |
