TRIBUTE PAID TO LALGUDI JAYARAMAN- NOTED VIOLINIST
Noted violinist Lalgudi Jayaraman passed away on 22nd
April,2013,Monday in Chennai. He was 82 and is survived by his wife, son and
daughter. His son Lalgudi GJR Krishnan and daughter GJR Vijayalakshmi are also
violinists.Hailing from Lalgudi in Tiruchi district, Mr. Jayaraman played for
great maestros, including Musiri Subramania Iyer, M.M. Dandapani Desikar, G. N.
Balasubramaniam, Madurai Mani Iyer, Ramnad Krishnan, Madurai S. Somasundaram
and Maharajapuram Santhanam.
He never played for women artistes, as his father late V.R.
Gopala Iyer was against this idea.Though he evolved a style of his own
popularly known as Lalgudi
Bani, he never deviated from the role of an accompanying artist when
he played for these great masters.He was not keeping well for quite sometime
after he had a stroke.
