M. S. Gopalakrishnan, 82, Master Of South Indian Violin
One of the greatest exponents of Carnatic music, Gopalakrishnan was equally revered as a soloist and for accompanying singers and fellow instrumentalists. Unusually, he was equally comfortable playing in the very different styles and forms of Hindustani (North Indian) classical music. PRI 01/03/13 (includes audio)
