L. Subramaniam, who hails from a Tamil family, gave his first public performance at the age of six. Music was in his blood from very childhood as both his parents, father V. Lakshminarayana, and mother V. Seethalakshmi, were renowned musicians. Though he acquired a doctorate in medicine, he chose to remain a violinist. He married Viji Subramanian and again after her death, the popular Indian playback singer Kavita Krishnamoorthy in 1999. The biography of L. Subramaniam's music career is quite impressive.

He has performed live with some of the greatest names in the Indian Carnatic music genre like Chembai Vaidyanatha Bhagavatar, M.D. Ramanathan and so on. L. Subramaniam has also played the Violin in many stage shows with the renowned Palghat Mani Iyer on the Mridangam. Not only this, Subramaniam has also composed music for orchestras and done Hollywood film scores. L Subramaniam has made various film scores for movies like Salaam Bombay and Mississippi Masala that was directed by Mira Nair.

He has also participated as solo violinist in Bernardo Bertolucci's Little Buddha and Cotton Mary of Merchant-Ivory productions. His orchestra compositions include 'Fantasy on Vedic Chant' with the New York Philharmonic. Some others are Zubin Mehta's 'Turbulence' with The Swiss Romande Orchestra, 'The Concert of Two Violins' with The Oslo Philharmonic and 'Global Symphony with The Berlin Opera and so on.

A Short Note About LP GRADING -

• Mint = Only used for sealed items.

• Near Mint Minus = Item has some minor imperfections, some audible.
• Excellent = Item obviously played and enjoyed with some noise.
• Very Good Plus = Many more imperfections which are noticeable and obtrusive.

Please understand that this is a very old record - as such, one cannot expect the record to sound like a brand new, audiophile pressing! Some noise is inevitable - for best results, always properly clean your LPs before playing them.

The LP is an audiophile quality pressing (any collector of fine MFSL, half speeds, direct to discs, Japanese/UK pressings etc., can attest to the difference a quality pressing can make to an audio system).
