Really saddened by the passing away of the great T N Krishnan, the last of a kind. Whether it was Saarasaksha, Raghuvamsasudha or Jingle Bells, the violin was his slave. Here's from his 2017 Xmas Day concert at Music Academy....the last I saw him live. Om Shanthi🙏🏽 #TNKrishnan pic.twitter.com/yeXd3Le8Cy

TN Krishnan - the Violin stalwart is/was an idol of one of my friends. He used to rave about the man and his art in lengths. He used to look forward to the Christmas concert at the Academy for the #JingleBell & the hearty New Year's wish from the man himself.

Yes, where he would finish off the concert with the Jingle bells tune! That would surely be missed. #TNKrishnan https://t.co/zpdwdivH3v
