T.R. Balasubramaniam was prominent among pupils nurtured by GNB….
“T.R. Balasubramaniam
was the one GNB sishya who could have reached a position
of eminence in Carnatic music such as attained by MLV, had he not died prematurely young. He
was a rising star in the 1950s, with his strong voice and pleasing style,
reminiscent of his guru’s. He was one of the last of the old guard of disciples
to experience gurukulavasa. He very efficiently managed GNB’s affairs including his family budget.
Largely responsible for the publication of GNB’s Gana Bhaskara Manimalai, T.R.
Balu died on the concert stage. He made a lasting contribution to Carnatic
music in the form of his disciples Radha-Jayalakshmi. He was the first of a
number of GNB sishya-s who bore his name — S.
Balasubramaniam and T.S. Balasubramaniam (who has contributed to this
commemorative volume) were among them. It was even jokingly rumoured that you
had to be a Balasubramaniam to be accepted as GNB’s pupil!”-Sruti
Radha Viswanathan had her early training in music from T.R.
