It has been long time, since I listed songs.
Since very few Ramanavami concerts were reviewed, thought I will add one.
Excellant concert by Sreevalsan, very good returns by Ajith and good support by the percussionists.
He packed so many krithis with ragam, neraval, and swaram.
Very relaxed and enjoyable presentations.
Main was Bageshri and was leisurely done.
Have to force mysef to leave during thani as it was 9:00pm.

Good song list. Thanks for the review.
Sreevalsan Menon is innovating much within the framework of carnatic concert paddhati. Of late he has sung Swati Tirunal Malayalam padams and Kathakali padams as main piece in a few concerts. Done full justice in that.
Bagesree- it has been taken for RTPs by many musicians. Now Menon has attempted a main song in that- What a better song than the monumental creation of MDR.
Should hear it some time. IN Chennai there are feeble chances of hearing Sreevalsan J Menon. DKP 100 gave a truncated chance of hearing his music. Waiting......

Thanks @ranjanimalavi for the review and song list. It certainly looks like it was a wonderful concert, with quite a few (R, N, S)'s! However, I couldn't make out what the "O" in #1 and #2 denotes. Could you please clarify? Thanks.

@CRama I see. Isn't that the same as the raga alapana? Or is the "outline" a very brief alapana?

Yes. It is a very brief alapana of one minute or less.

Thanks, Raman. You try your best to attend concerts--time and traffic woes not discouraging you. Nothing like listening to music by being there, in person.
Wish I had heard him too. The few concerts of his which I have attended in the past have been a pleasant experience. Reposeful, yet intricate.
