Padmashri Dr. L. Subramaniam, India’s violin icon, has conquered every audience with the elegance and virtuosity of his style. After an initial training in vocal music and percussion, he switched to the violin and took the musical world by storm. At a very young age, he was honoured with the title ‘Violin Chakravarthy’ (emperor of the violin). He has the unique distinction of excelling in many genres of music, from Indian classical to Jazz fusion to Western Classical. He has established himself as a force that is strongly Indian, but universal in nature and approach. Full-blowing, tonal modulations, brevity in presenting sangati-s are among the virtues of his renditions. Besides solo performances he has also collaborated with several legendary musicians like Lord Yehudi Menuhin, and Jazz greats such as Stephane Grappelli, Herbie Hancock, Joe Sample and the Crusaders.

Dr. L. Subramaniam’s name is synonymous with the instrument, violin. This special album brings out the magical music of the legend, who is truly the ‘Last Word’ in violin.
