Of course Nagai steals the show nonchalantly with his swara return.

3. Chandrajyothi alap in progress

3b. Nice googly.

Bare kopamma nimma balaya, misra chapu, Purandaradasa

Nice chittaswaras.

RR Sabha mini hall is top class with great accoustics & decor. Hope to catch more concerts here. Seems to seat about 300 people & is about 2/3rd full today. With two other top rung artistes singing in the area today, this is quite a good crowd.

4.Nadupai, mdmvt, k.chapu, T

Neraval at Aajanubahu yuta

Nice high energy neraval with some great support from the kid on the mrdangam. Solo accompaniment for the vocal & joined KVG strategically for the violin return lifting the energy level.

Swaras following @ Payojaksha. "Jilu jilu" kanjira sounding terrific in the audi acoustics.

May be we should carry a large sign with the appropriate letter (would be G in this case), and hold it up for the artiste so he can correct annoying mispronunciations ;)

This was easily the best concert of the 7 day series for me. Both in the quality of the music and the time devoted to the concert. Was almost half hour longer than the other concerts of the same slot.

Sureshvv,
Thanks for the lively commentary--a vidvAn I would like to listen to in a live performance. The new RR Sabha is something I would like to check out too! The old premises brings precious childhood memories of concerts and plays...

Sankara Iyer's rAma nAma'mE' thudi manamE...

Sureshvv, rshankar,

The purandara dasa song was bare gopamma (not K). I attended the concert and he sang it correctly all the time.

Regards
Sathya

Thank you. I may have misheard.

What about the Tanjore Sankara Iyer song? Was that sung correctly too?

Akshay Ananthapadmanabhan accompanied on the mrdangam. Had seen him a few times before but did not know his name then.
