Ravikiran has several CDs, and I have heard most of them. This is one of the better ones, now largely superseded by the more mature Nimbus recording. Many even earlier recordings continue to be available, especially given Ravikiran's growing fame, but for the most part they just do not show the same mastery as he displays today.

To purchasing information for this disc.

To Carnatic CD list.
