L. Subramaniam is one of my favorite musician and one of the best violinists of India. He is widely acclaimed and recognized all over the world. I shot this image in Chennai January 23rd, 2003, at the Music Academy, he was giving a concert with Jean Luc Ponty and Bil1y Cobham A real treat..
His prodigious talent was evident at the early age of two, when he could repeat musical phrases that he heard his father sing. He gave his first violin performance at the age of six.
Through his superb blending of Carnatic and Western classical music. He was also a featured soloist in "All the world's violins" held in Belgium along with Sir Yehudi Menuhin and Stephane Grappelli.
Dr. Subramanium has also scored the music for movies like Salaam Bombay and Mississipi Masala, besides featuring as a soloist in the film Little Buddha by Bernardo Bertolucci. He was also the music advisor for Peter Brook's historic stage production of the Mahabharata.
He has also recorded his East-West fusion compositions with jazz greats like Stephane Grappelli, Herbie Hancock, Larry Coryell.
Maestro at work, and a well captured protrait. How fortunate! Great composition and the description for all non-musical photo enthusiasts. I hope you are not in Sri Lanka and j'esperes que tout va bien avec toi et tes voyages en Asie....
