inta parAka s@kanna talli tanri, while the varNam wasn't a great start*, this one was very good.

AbhOgi what an Alapanai it was, superb and equally good return by Raghul. nIkeppu dayavacchunO ns@samayamu jUchi delpudevvarO
nIvAda nEgAna - still not able to get whats so good about this song. sAranga itself is kind of "heh what about it?" for me
thOdi again a great AlApanai of evergreen thOdi. there is something about thOdi that is timeless. dAchukOvalEna, ns@saumitri thyAgarAju tani

My thought - he is very good in AlApanai and krithis but the nerevals kind of appear meandering and not well paced/spaced. Very good voice and was at ease belting out AbhOgi and thOdi Alapanais. Percussion - mridangam playing was a little different, different kind of emphasis/patterns
* me thinks the issue is with the varNam itself

sankark,
Yes, the pAsurams are from vEdanta dEsikar's aDaikkalap pathu--அடைக்கலப் பத்து. Wonderful verses of surrender. Sanjay has been singing it for a while. He tuned it too, I am sure. Somewhere in his blog, there is a video of varadarAjap perumAL's bhavani, filmed so very agreeably to go with the mood of the lyrics. I don't know how to search for it, though

As you say, truly wonderful; especially the last verse in Surati is one of a kind:
Vedanta Desikar's priceless lines about his saranAgati (that he surrenders at Varadaraja's feet as an arrow speeds to and sinks into its target) is highlighted by the raga choice and leisurely delivery. Just oozes class all around (except for Sanjay mixing up one word!)
