A very promising career was cut short suddenly and prematurely when D. V. Paluskar, a celebrated son of a celebrated father, died on 26th October 1955 at the early age of 34 years. And Indian classical music suffered a loss that cannot be made good.

The only son of the illustrious musician Pt. Vishnu Digambar Paluskar, who was known for his virtuosity in the field throughout the length and breadth of the Indian subcontinent, young D. V. Paluskar was deprived of paternal grooming in the art of singing at a very early age on account of his father’s death. His musical heritage however helped him to pursue his art under the tutelage of various well known musicians notably Prof. Narainrao Vyas and Pt. Vinayak Rao Patwardhan, both pupils of his father. Gradually he evolved a style of his own in marked contrast to that of his contemporaries and ultimately attained a place amongst top-ranking musicians of the day. He was a frequent broadcaster from All  India Radio stations and was a prominent member of a cultural delegation that visited China in 1955 at the instance of the Indian Government.

D. V. Paluskar was gifted with a rich and melodious voice and the recorded performances he has left behind are replete with many a graceful pattern of skillful workmanship. On one side of this record is offered a classical exposition entitled “Raga  Shri” which the artiste recorded barely three weeks before his death and which remains the last recording of his brilliant though short lived career. The other side comprises of selections from his standard records on different themes all devotional in character and rendered in a light classical style.
