Everyone from A. R. Rahman to Ellen DeGeneres are in praise of the boy wonder Lydian Nadhaswaram. He isn’t someone who can play the piano, but he can play it while he is blindfolded! He has also showcased his talent at the popular American show ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’. He went on to play Mozart’s Turkish March blindfolded. Which left everyone awestruck. Ellen DeGeneres took to her Facebook page to say “Lydian is only 13 years old, and he can play Mozart blindfolded. I’m 61 and I can’t spell Mozart blindfolded,”.
Lydian isn’t just an expert at playing the piano. When he was only eight years old, he mastered the mridangam and tabla. This was because of his music composer-father Varshan’s influence. Lydian also got trained the A. R. Rahman’s KM Conservatory which is located in Chennai. Lydian also recreated Ilayaraja’s musical composition from the film Mounaragam. Fans of Lydian are taking to Google to listen to the heart-warming tune. You can listen to it here.
