I remember in 2008 whe I started to learn Carnatic music under Dr P.V. Bosein Pondicherry, he gave me some recordings to listen to.
Among the artists was a lot of Maharajapuram Santhanam concerts.

I remember at that time how I couldn’t appreciate the quality of it, in part because my ears were very new to Carnatic music, and the quality of the sound was very low.

Now after more than ten years, I can appreciate it so much, it is honey to my ears…

I now take time to learn and see beyond the surface before deciding to appreciate a new thing or not…
