Veena Recital by Doraiswamy Iyengar

Mysore Venkatesha Doraiswamy Iyengar, the great Carnatic musician was one of the greatest exponents of the veena in modern times. He was the son of Venkatesha Iyengar, a learned vainika and royal musician at the court of the Princely State of Mysore. Doraiswamy started learning the veena from his father at an early age and soon became a disciple of Veena Venkatagiriyappa, one of the foremost vainikas of the day in Mysore. He was awarded the Padma Bhushan by the President of India in 1983, the Sangeeta Kalanidhi of the Madras Music Academy in 1984, the Sangeeta Kalasikhamani of the Indian Fine Arts Society in 1994 among many other honours.
