Thanks

I attended the concert but didn't note down the full list.

It was a very pleasant 3 hour concert by Sandeep Narayanan, BU Ganesh Prasad (violin) & TR Sundaresan (mridangam).
The alapana in kAnada and the neraval and swaram in rishabhapriya were the highlights for me.

Concert was part of Karpahavalli, Sydney's Vaggeya Vaibhavam Festival featuring compositions of Koteeswara Iyer (KI) and Papanasam Sivan (PS).

From memory here are the items presented:

• 1. sAmi nIyE gati (varnam), kEdAragowla, Adi - KI
  2. vA vA shikavAhana, nAttai, rUpaka - KI
  3. kAntimati, kAnada, misra chApu - PS (sub main)
  4. antaranga bhakti, shadvidamargini, Adi - KI
  5. karpagavalli nin porpadhangal, ragamalika, Adi - Yazhpanam Veeramani Iyer (featured alapana in 4 ragas - Ananda bhairavi, kalyAni, bAgeshri, ranjani)
  6. gana naya desika, rishabhapriya, adi - KI (main)
  7. nAn oru villayAtu bommai, navarasa kannada, adi - PS
  8. virutam then kAnavEndAmO, sri ranjani, rupakam - PS

THis is such a common song for many who grew up in TN. In our forum there was a mention once in a review that V shankaranarayanan sang and now Sandeep sings this catchy number.

Rajesh - karpagavalli nin porpadhangal was a request from the organisers. The sabha name is Karpahavalli and this was the first time they were organising a concert by visiting artistes from India.

The most popular version is the original by TM Soundararajan but he goes a little over the top with it. In one of their concerts on youtube Priya Sisters have sung this song in a slow sedate manner with few extra sangatis.
Dunno why he sang this because it does not go with the theme.
