Narayan Iyengar - Tours Abroad

Tours Abroad

He was invited to perform in Burma, Malaysia, Singapore and Sri Lanka, and his concerts won rave acclaim from the public and the press alike.

On October 2, 1939, the Malaya Tribune wrote:

"The highest flights of ecstasy to which Carnatic music can raise were revealed by the performance on the famous gotuvadyam by Professor Narayana Iyengar at the Town Hall of Kuala Lumpur. The extent of the profound effects he has produced on the audience numbering nearly a thousand can be gauged from the fact that he was able to hold them spell-bound for over 3 hours, whereas it would be considered a remarkable achievement if a million dollar film could do the same for just over an hour."
