Hi,
Can someone tell me if Clarinet is used in classical Indian music and if
so, the names of artists?
Thanks

A. K. C. Natarajan is quite a famous Carnatic classical clarinet player.
I have seen many others play it, but can't think of anyone as popular.

There is a person who plays Clarinet in Bangalore. It takes the role of
the Nadhaswaram. He is quite a popular artiste for weddings, etc but his
name escapes me although he did play for my brother's wedding.

There is a guy named Kamble who plays Hindustani Music on clarinet. He
is very good. He has recorded at least one cassette in which he plays
fabulous Marubihag, starting with the tune of 'tuma to pyaara ho, sajanii'.
Unfortunately he does not seem to be famous...:-(

AKC Natarajan plays Albert system clarinet in the style of nagasvaram, with
tavil rather than mrdangam accompaniment. There was a great Carnatic
clarinetist named N Radhakrishnan Naidu who died several years back. He was
wonderful, and played solo concerts as well as being an accompanist, notably
in the ensemble of the great dancer T Balasaraswati. I don't think there are
any commercial recordings, but Sampradaya in Madras should have some of his
AIR stuff.

good luck,
