I heard her daughter a few years ago and she is also a supreme musician. I hope this style of playing will live long, LONG!

The JVC "Music of the Veena II" disc is excellent. Does anyone know any other recordings with Padmanabhan?

She happens to be the 9th genaration of veena player, who is a direct disciple of her grandfather Shri Sambasiva Iyer.
Her daughter, Sreevidhya Chandramouli, continues the tradition.

Like most vainikas, they sang while playing the instrument. Taanam is a specialty of this tradition and the brothers excelled in it. Rajeswari Padmanabhan trained with Sambasiva Iyer for her first fourteen years.She further contributed to the traditional repertoire considerably, especially with her association with Mysore Vasudeevachar, and also further refined the technical aspects of performing on the instrument without deviating from the Karaikudi baani..

The Karaikudi Bani
From the Tanjavur tradition emerged another highly regarded baani (style) from the Karaikudi family. Two representatives, brothers Subbarama Iyer and Sambasiva Iyer, were considered to be incredible veena performers at the turn of the century. They usually performed together and were considered to be very mature and serious musicians. The elder brother, Subbarama Iyer, held the Veena vertical (no longer practiced) and Sambasiva Iyer held in the way we see it held today.
