[rajeshnat]

Lot of weighty numbers that too NSG saveri no is a surprise. Very nice to take up that -since the days of TRS taking up Balamuralikrishna composition- it is quite a rarity for any one artist to take up another artist composition of the same era. Wish i was there in san jose.

[ramakriya]

The pallavi had a phrase something like "sUrya chandra" nayanam - Hence the rAgamAlika swaras were chosen in chandra jyOti, ravi chandrika, chandrika, and sUrya shri (Suryakanta minus panchama plus prati madhyama)
