It was another concert of pristine music. There were no unwanted frills or additions to the music. It was pure classicism from the beginning and each piece was rendered with a lot of gait. The AlApanais were very vintage and had a lot of enjoyable phrases. Each gamakkam with precision and each song with the grandeur, the concert was totally very fulfilling. The accompanists were very good and added a lot to the concert.

The rendition of the kAmbhOji kriti stood out and the unhurried rendition without shifting to mEl kAlam for the caraNam was indeed very soothing to hear. The complete grandeur of the kriti was totally showcased.

Isn't idi samayamurA (inakulatilaka...) a composition in chAyAnATa? As far as I know, that is the only Thyagaraja kriti which starts with those words.

it sounded like dEva manOhari to me. Does chAyA nATTai sound similar?

it was iti samayamurA, and it was a tyAgarAja kriti.

I just got this elsewhere

ChAyA Natta
A Janyam of MeLam No. 34 VAgadIsvari
ArOhaNam: sa ri ga ma pa ma pa sa (or sa ri ga ma pa sa)
AvarOhaNam: sa ni dha ni pa ma ri sa

Some compositions
in ChAyA nAta are:
Idi samayamuna (AdI) Tyagaraja
Talampa Venaka (Adi) Annamacharya

the sndnpmrs phrase, which I think occurs in the krit's pallavi might have been misleading.

One of the finest performances heard so far after Alamelu Mani. Pristine Classicism.
Neraval and swaras at Bhusuradhi were astounding.

The raga essays and replies to the swara passages (especially in Kambodhi ) by Amrita Murali were excellent.

Inspired sensitive play by Ganapathiraman.

WOW a very rare number of items, indeed with some very heavy pieces.
