Editorial Reviews 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.
