Famous Carnatic Composers

M. BaalamuraLikrishna - (born 1930) Dr. M. Balamuralikrishna is a child prodigy who received brief training in music from Parupalli Ramakrishniah Pantulu. He is a multi talented, self-made artist and composer. His debut was at Vijayawada at the Aradhana of his guru's guru. By the time his half-hour allotment was over the audience was so thrilled that he ended up singing for two-and-a-half hours. His resonant voice is full of vigor and he has tremendous range. He is equally adept at playing the viola, violin, mridangam and the kanjira. He is one of a handful of people who have composed in all the 72 melakartas. This remarkable achievement was completed by the time he was in his teens. He has composed mostly in Sanskrit and Telugu and has handled rare ragas, even evolving new ragas of his own. He has won a number of titles and honors including Sangita Kalanidhi in 1979.
