Sound quality: superlative

Recording date: unknown; CD issue: 2002

The actual contents of this disc do not match the printed contents on the sleeve, which is Chatur Ragamalika. They have hopefully been corrected here (especially with the help of Gary Roberts).

This appears to be a live recording of a standard concert by KVN, featuring mostly obscure material, but in the traditional concert forms. There is also quiet, unnamed vocal support.

To purchasing information for this disc.

To Carnatic CD list.
