Sound quality: quite good

Recording date: unknown; CD issue: 1996

An unusual issue. I have heard concert tapes of this artiste previously, and he is quite amazing. As I understand it, he began as a singer, but suffered some impediment, and eventually turned to whistling. Again, no documentation at all with the CD.

To purchasing information for this disc.

To Carnatic CD list.
