  • "Dr. Balamurali Krishna is the most outstanding modern exponent of the fine balance between the grammar of raga and tala and the poetry of rasa and bhakti." - Jayalalitha, Former Chief Minister of Tamilnadu.
    Balamurali's restless energy and vitality did not allow him to rest content with worldwide fame as a concert vocalist. Even as a child prodigy, when he was just 14 years old, he had composed a detailed work entitled Raganga Ravali, the 72 melakarthas with a composition in each of the melas.
    BMK should be credited with giving Carnatic music a global image. He has appeared as a featured soloist with an award-winning British Choir, performing Gitanjali Suite with words from Rabindranath Tagore's Nobel Prize-winning poetry. His clear diction in several languages prompted an invitation to record Tagore's entire Rabindra Sangeet compositions in Bengali. He has sung in French and even ventured into jazz fusion. The conferment of the French honor of Chevalier des Artes et Letters (Knight of the older of Arts and Letters) this year has, therefore, come as no surprise, being an international recognition of his all-around contribution to the cause of Carnatic Music in India and abroad.
    It was an honor and privilege to have spent a day with the legend when he was here in Hyderbad in 2015 for a book release function and also to confer the title of Natya Saraswati and Madhura Gayani to Vijayavalli Bharadwaj.
