When Kadri Gopalnath introduced a new instrument called the Saxophone, years ago, to Carnatic music, he enchanted listeners with his technical expertise and raga conception in handling the instrument. He disproved the theory of a ‘nine-day wonder’, and is still continuing to top the charts in popularity. Together with Avasarala Kanyakumari, specialised violinist in carnatic music, he made a superb album. (H.L.)
