UKS mama must have played the same meru samana for SSI and MDR , the maayamaalavagowlai in each of those instances must have sparkled . After many many decades the great UKS mama is playing for Abhishek Raghuram who brings in a shade of both SSI and MDR to me. The two are ably assisted by another 2 stars HN Bhaskar and BS Sundarkumar

If i am allowed to be poetic the 2 core ingrediants, carnatic defining raga maayamaalava gowlai and carnatic defining vaggeyakkara Thyagaraja meet across generations of supreme excellence. Abhishek could have sung more to the microphone ,but that is just a small blemish. How UKS mama plays for anupallavi and the transitions in the charanam particularly neraval and swaras is simply superb.
