'Sangita Kalanidhi' is a prestigious title conferred upon an outstanding musician or a musicologist, annually, by the Music Academy, Chennai, the premier organization devoted to the cause of music. Perceived as the ultimate in recognition of musical excellence, the title of 'sngita kalanidhi', with its sine qua non of 'vidwat' or scholarship, marks the cumination of the musical evolution of an artiste. Sublime, rather than, scintillating music flows from the 'Sangita Kalanidhi' , its experience more aesthetic than aural. Not surprising then that every Carnatic musician/musicologist nurture the aspiration to being crowned with such a glory. The award of the title is not necessarily confined to vocalists as there are many instrumetalists who have been honoured with the title. Percussion too has merited the award alongside instrumental music. Femate artistes have also been bestowed with the award though their numberis small. This album presents select rendition of the 'Sangita Kalanidhi's listed therein.
