Celebrating the musical genius of Karukurichi Arunachalam
The Hindu
Excerpts from different recordings were chosen to highlight the nagaswaram maestro’s virtuosity
To celebrate the birth centenary of the well-known nagaswaram vidwan Karukurichi P. Arunachalam, the Music Academy hosted a lec-dem on his life and music.
Dividing the lec-dem into two segments — one part as biography and the other music — Lalitharam Ramachandran, spoke about the musician with passion and involvement.
The prayer song ‘Thyagaraja Mahadhwajaroha’ in Sriragam, rendered by Magizhan Paridhi, a student of Advanced School of Carnatic Music, The Music Academy, Madras, which clearly mentions the name of the instrument as ‘nagaswara’ and not ‘nadhaswara’ as it is commonly known , formed a prelude to the interesting lecture .
