T V Sankaranarayanan




He made his debut on the concert platform in 1968 and then gradually established himself as a Carnatic vocalist. His chaste, traditional style has won him a large following among discerning listeners. He has performed widely at home and abroad and has several cassettes to his credit. In a profile published in the Financial Express, Subbudu, a highly respected music critic, writes: "Sankaranarayanan is indeed an asset to the Carnatic music world, where the tribe of good vocalists is dwindling."
