Sound quality: good

Recording dates: unknown (mid-1970s according to insert); CD issue: 2/2002

This recording is noted as "From the Music Academy Archives."

A good collection pieced together from many sources.... Nothing to really complain about, aside from the usual shoddy packaging, but nothing to rave about either. A solidly executed program.

To purchasing information for this disc.

To Carnatic CD list.
