Violin Recital by Dwaram Venkataswamy Naidu.

Dwaram Venkataswamy Naidu, popularly known as ‘fidelu’ Naidu was perhaps the first person to bring violin to the forefront of Carnatic music. He was born in 1893 in Bangalore where his father was a Commissioned Officer in the Army. Dwaram matured early as a musician of rare calibre. He went on to win great praise and many laurels for his exquisite handling of the violin. He received the Presidents award for Carnatic instrumental music in 1953 and was awarded the title of Padma Shri in 1957. Dwaram Venkataswamy Naidu died in 1964. He was well known for his deft handling of even complex Ragas. Though a traditionalist at heart who adhered to the orthodox Carnatic style, he was receptive to fresh ideas.
