Violin was the first Western instrument to be adopted for playing Carnatic Music. Around 1800 AD., Balaswami Dikshitar, the younger brother of Muthuswami Dikshitar learnt the playing of violin from a band master aat Fort St Georgein Chennai (Madras), India. He first learnt western music and later adopted the instrument to play Carnatic music. The technique of playing the violin was perfected to such an extent that it became an indispensable accompaniment to Carnatic Vocal and instrumental music.
Dr. N. Rajam takes credit for introducing the violin not only as a solo instrument but also as an accompanying instrument for vocal and instrumental music in the Hindustani tradition. Oriental Records Inc. is privileged to present the first solo recording of Dr. N. Rajam accompanied by her daughter and the world renowned tabla maestro, Zakir Hussain.
