Vittal Ramamurthy

Post by rajeshnat »

Vittal Ramamurthy , a brilliant violinist is a senior student of meastro Lalgudi Jayaraman. His play has lalgudi stamp of presenting the rich sahithya bhavam with melody. His son has also showing a lot of promise (forgot his name). His niece kruthi and keerthana bhat from Texas are surely making mark as vocalists . Mother of Kruthi and keerthana- Rajeshwary Bhat is well known as teacher and organizer in Houston, Texas.

I read somewhere Amrutha Murali learnt violin also from vittal. There is a festival in his village near Udupi in rural karnataka(forgot the name) where he holds a yearly festival and invites lots of young talents and does conduct CM festival in a big way .

He at times pairs with VVS Murari , the below writeup is one of those dated Jan 29,2021.

I think that, in the duets with VVS Murari, the latter plays viola. It makes an excellent combination.

Vittal Ramamurthy's duets with Padma Shankar should be noted too. They make gentle, thoughtful and beautiful music together. Both Lagudi school.
