T. V. Sankaranarayanan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sri T.V. Sankaranarayanan was born at Mayiladuturai, Thanjavur district. At the age of nine, he started learning music from his uncle, Madurai Mani Iyer.
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."
