Grand start with SrI venkaTa girISam AlokayE - Surutti - MD

rasALi Alapana - aparAdamula - tyAgarAja.

What a deft handling of the kritis. The Mridangist has an Yella touch.

I may have to resume this tommorow. But the start is promising..

I finished hearing the rest - almost:

tatvameruga - garuDadvani - rUpakam - tyaragaraja
- a fast filler.

vAgadhISvari - rAgam. A creative exposition positioning it in "Ga" - she intervened with words - said: tough to leave "Ga" in vAgadhISvari - well if you leave it and go down - you get vAdISvari - becomes vivadISvari. Actually it is vAdISvari as vivAdi has some vivEkam to it, in the sense the elders skirted by going to "sa" first. ;) .

But I get it - virtuosity in her domain that is Alapana - the kriti entirely avoided that - was a chaset vivAdi ;) , until she went into svaraprastAra.

It was a lilting rAgam , with a tAnam followed by a kriti - paramAtmuDu - Adi - 2 kaLai - tyAgaraja.

tani was done with deft touches by the Mridangist and supported nicely by Ghatam. Had some good kArvai based kORvais/Arudhis.
