Sriram Parasuram and Anooradha Sriram are the recipients this year The Visakha Music Academy's MS Subbulakshmi Puraskar means a lot to us as MS Subbulakshmi amma stood for values that are eternal and also it has been instituted by a team of people who are dedicated to music and so would have found some worth in us for the award, Sriram Parasuram said. Hopefully it will inspire us to live up to the standards set by the music legend. If there are two names that come to mind about Indian classical music they are Tansen and MS Subbulakshmi, he explained. -G S Subrahmanyam |
