POST 1 gives details of the various pieces as well as analysis. I found the Kambhodi to be refreshingly fresh, imaginative & interesting as well as the Koteeswara Iyer kriti- of course not surprising for the leading disciple of S.Rajam-.
I just wish to point put that the exchanges between the vocalist& violinist were scintillating as well as imaginative. The mridangist & Ghatam vidwans provided relevent& good support. It was good to hear a great concert with classicism with no gimmickery. VKV
