BENGALURU: Her Bollywood songs might have etched her in the minds of people, but playback singer Kavita Krishnamurthy said it is singing for Lakshminarayana Global Music Festival that expanded her mind and kept her on her toes.
Like every year, this year too Krishnamurthy will be performing at the Lakshminarayana Global Music Festival 2025, along with her husband, violin virtuoso L Subramaniam, and her children Bindu and Ambi Subramaniam. But this year’s festival’s highlight, said Krishnamurthy, is world’s fastest violinist, Muhammad Yildirir from Turkey.
Technically, Guinness Book of World Record’s ‘world’s fastest violinist’ is held by Britain’s Ben Lee, who played a famous interlude from Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov ‘Flight of the Bumblebee’ in 58.515 seconds on November 14, 2010. Guinness Records dropped that category post that due to technical difficulties in judging. But about nine years ago, Yildirir in a live concert, which is also available on YouTube, played the same interlude in 37.84 seconds.
