One of the foremost Karnatik vocalists today, T.M. Krishna writes
lucidly and passionately about the form, its history, its problems and
where it stands today
T.M. Krishna begins his sweeping exploration of the tradition of
Karnatik music with a fundamental question: what is music? Taking
nothing for granted and addressing readers from across the spectrum –
musicians, musicologists as well as laypeople – Krishna provides a
path-breaking overview of south Indian classical music.
