The Nattakurinji pada varnam is by Moolai Veettu Rangaswamy Nattuvanar. Pahimam Sri Rajarajeswari is by Maha Vaidyanatha Sivan.

They did not sing Kapinarayani. It was Harikesanallur Muthaiah Bhagavathar's sArasamukhi in gauDamalhAr.

I don't know about the rest of the audience. For me, the concert was just out.of.the.world. I still don't have the right words to describe it, but maybe divine comes close. This might sound like a prejudiced opinion - but all I can say is, it comes from the bottom of my heart.

Yes it was an enjoyable concert if not flamboyant. The song selection was impressive. They could have sung with a bit more vigour to make it more engaging. The Thani was just out of this world. The speed and crystal clarity of Sri UKS at this age had to be seen to be believed. He drew out the best from Karthick also.

I was at the concert yesterday and it was good. Very classical. Sri.UKS was amazing.

Hi All,

This is to share my joy with rasikas about yesterday's concert by Carnatica Brother's at Tatvaloka. It was an Awesome experience to me being part of such concert. I dont have the correct words to praise both Carnatica Brothers and Shri. Sivaraman sir for their excellence in the entire show. However, the hours that I invested was worth and am totally sastisfied with the kutchery.

Srini.
