There is no need to rate this book. There is one name that’s at the top of exponents. The next numbering starts from 5. Dr Balamurali Krishna’s contribution to music is unparallel. He has sung Krithis like a performer that the composer would have visualized. Tyagayya, Shyma Shastri, Dikshitar, Purandara Dasa, Ramadas, Pattanam, Mysore Vasudevachariar, Swathi Thirunal would themselves would have blessed him for the way he embellished their compositions. You need to scrap this book a write a new one, if you want to do justice to this topic. Listen to his RTP’s his Jayadeva Krithis, his varnams, his Thillanas. Each of it is a P.Hd topic.
