Amidst the large number of violin­ists he stood out in being one of those rare artists who chose to excel in two styles of music rather than side with one. He per­formed bril­liantly both the North Indian (Hindu­stani) as well the South Indian (Carnatic) styles of music. This talent of making north meet south was passed on to his equally gifted son Guru Shri Shekar Tanjorkar. He not only has imbibed the glorious legacy of the Tanjore (Tanjavur) gharana, but also expan­ded it and widened its horizons with his natural creat­ivity and passion for music.
