Immortal Sounds Of the Veena

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
S. BALACHANDER, a musician of rare skill and knowledge, has been the pioneer to have carried the sound of the veena to the four corners of the world. He is unique among Indian musicians in that far from having been trained by a famous teacher, he basically taught himself every step of the way. Yet, he modestly refuses to accept undue achievement for his credit, repeatdly stating that God Almighty has ever been his guru and divine guide.

One of Dr. Balachanders achievements is that he has created a new " vocal Style" of veena playing, considered to be the most difficult ever. By pulling and deflecting the veena strings, the artist is able to achieve even the most difficult tonal continuity with unprecendented and unsurpassed skill.

He is the only artist ever to record all 72"" Melakarta Ragas", the basic parent scale of Indian Classical music.

An artist of great dedication, Dr. S.Balachander is highly respected in India and abroad as a musiciansmusician.
