1. The Swathi thirunal krithi (3rd item in the above list) was sung in four ragas, Kamalamanohari, Hamsadvani, Revagupti and Tarangini. TMK gave sketches of the ragas in long and short prayogas each one followed closely by RKS. I wonder if any one has attempted singing alapana of all the ragas of Bhavayami Raghuramam before singing the Swathi Thirunal's Magnum opus !.

2. Rase Harimiha (# 9) was sung in Mohanam, Vasantha, Yaman and Sindhubhairavi.

3. Pachai mamalaipol was sung in Kalyani, Yadhukula kambodhi, Anandhabhairavi and Hamirkalyani

4. Ninyako (made famous by AB) was sung in Senchuruti, Nadanamakriya, Sindhubhairavi and Punnagavarali

I stand to correction please.

[shreyas]

Where can I buy a recording of this (if available)? I am asking since most of the organisations in NA usually record concerts,

[HarishankarK]

Raase Harimiha MLV version starts in Mohanam and ends in S. Bhairavi and has Yamuna kalyani as the third Charanam as well
But 2nd raga is not Vasantha - Chandraka chaaru Mayoora shikhandaka is not Vasantha -It's shudhda saarang or something like that

[Sachi_R]

Sir, are you referring to this?

I think the ragas are Rageshree, Yamuna Kalyani and Sindhu Bhairavi.

[HarishankarK]

Yes same one
Never thought that it is Raageshree

Lakshman,
A welcome, traditional concert from TMK! Hope we get to hear more in the format from him

[vasanthakokilam]

Just surfacing the fact this was a concert from 2008!!..

So TMK was traditional then!!

[arasi]

VK,
My! I did not look at the date I should have, knowing that old old threads are being revived these days! I guess I am still jet-lagged a bit, and add to it my being absent-minded as well...

Ah, if wishes were horses, I'd be on my way to one of TMK's concerts any day now!
A three and a half hour concert and all those uruppaDi-s!

[shankarank]

It seems Vignesh is getting houseful in MA. Rookie secretary was all praise - as with no ado he got his crowd. TMK 1.0 replaced almost!
