The book Carnatic Summers by music historian V.Sriram throws light on the circumstances that led to the rise of some of the eminent Carnatic stars of yesteryears. It takes a peek at their lives off-stage, the struggles and influences that shaped their music styles. There are lots of interesting anecdotes, such as a musician helping a critic who degraded him, musicians uniting to propagate Tamil music, and fund-raising for a fellow artiste. This is a good book to read about the lives of the great musicians whose music you love. Available on Amazon.
