Vocal : Malladi Brothers

Violin : Vittal Ramamurthy

Mridhanagam : Manargudi Easwaran

Ghatam : Trichy Murali

The concert had already started before I entered the hall.

01. Ganapathiye karuna nidhiye -?-??

02. Manas etulo - Malayamarutam - T

03. Pahimam Sri - Janaranjani-MD

04. Kanta Chudumi - Latangi/Vachaspati - T

05. Bhogindra Shayinam - Kuntalavarali - ST

I had to leave the concert, but for the acoustics which was very bad, the concert was a stunner

interms of manodharma and classicism. Somebody who was there can fill this song list. The

accompaniment deserves mention, both Easwaran and Murali were good. For Vittal it was an usual

role.

Seriously! Among the WORST ever acoustics I've encountered in halls I've been to in my life...

The complete song list

1. inta chalamu bEgaDa varNam

2. GanapatiyE karuNAnidhiyE -kharaharapriyA-Adi (S at pallavi)

3. ManasA eTulO - MalayamArutam - rUpakam (N,S at dinakarakulabhUshaNuni dhIruDavai bhajana cEsi)

4. PAhi mAm - Janaranjani- Maha Vaidyanatha Iyer

5. KanTa chUDumi - Vachaspati (A,S at baliki chUchi nanda pulakakAnkituDai)

6. BhOgIndra shAyinam (audience request)

7.dAchukOvalEna -tODi - jhampa (A,N,S,T at sowmitri tyAgarAjuni mATa balkaga)

8.gOpikAmanOharam -mOhanam-Adi-Dikshitar (spurious, I've heard)

9.gOvardhanagiridhara (narayana theertha) (some rAga that Sri Nedunuri has tuned it in... sounded like a dharmavati janya, srmpns sndpmrs. Does this qualify as any named rAga?) shuddha sarang or something probably...?

10.mudddugAre yashOda

11.pavamAnasutuDu

The highlight was when the speech making person said "Malladi brothers tamizhla spashTama uchcharichi pADina" or something to that effect n the fairer brother couldn't stop smiling! :D These speech ppl are a hoot... Lots of them seem to have a way with puns... This particular one commented abt the violinist, "avar Vittal Ramamoorthy illa, vital ramamoorthynu than solven"... Hilarious... Of course, the poor man meant it in all earnest...

One gets to hear this in darbAri kAnaDA often...sounds like it was different in this case.

Definitely not darbAri kAnaDa... As I said, Nedunauri garu has tuned it in something else...
Ppl sing it in hindOLam also...
As far as Theerthar's tarangams go, it's usually the "You like a particular raga or have discovered a new one, just sing the tarangam in it..." attitude. Not that I wish to malign anyone but there are jus so many different versions for the same sahityam...

My violin teacher when teaching me gOvardhana giri in darbAri kAnada told me, "you can play it in whatever raga you want!" And "vital ramamurthy" - priceless! I love CM people's puns, and they are really very adept at it too. Living example: Arasi (and Punarvasu and a host of other forumites as well)!
