34 Legendary Dikshitar Kritis by KV Narayanaswamy | Rare, Meditative & Timeless Carnatic Gems

Описание: In celebration of the 102nd birth anniversary of KV Narayanaswamy, and in honour of Muthuswamy Dikshitar’s 250th birth year, we present a landmark compilation of 34 Dikshitar kritis rendered by KVN across different concerts and eras.

With the generous guidance of KN Viswanathan, son of KVN, this project brings together a curated archive of rare, cherished, and deeply introspective recordings that reflect KVN’s refined classicism, his meditative manodharma, and his profound reverence for the Dikshitar tradition.

This collection stands as both a tribute to the legacy of KVN, one of Carnatic music’s most sublime exponents, and a homage to Dikshitar, whose timeless compositions continue to illuminate our musical and spiritual landscape.

Immerse yourself in this magnum opus, an offering of devotion, scholarship, and gratitude.
