It was a great concert. All the pieces carefully chosen and presented with a lot of bhavam. Being a thematic concert, there were a few interludes explaining some of the facets and interesting points about the compositions that were presented. Also, there was more emphasis on the compositions and not on the manOdarmam as the occasion demanded. The kritis were all rendered very well. The AlApanai of pUrvikalyANi was short while that of kAmbhOji was very beautiful. The neraval svarams in both were presented crisply. The rAgamAlikA viruTTam was also very beautifully rendered.

WOW! Lovely list. WIsh I had heard this concert. I last heard jhankAra Sruti SeiguvAi so many years ago - an LP of Smt. MSS' songs maybe? I have not heard the second one - siddhi aruL...is that Smt. Suguna's own composition?

[mahavishnu]

i take it the violinist was charulatha ramanujam and not mani.....

[Abhishek]

Looks like a great concert.
Notice how she fit in 4 of the top 5 ghana rAgas in this one concert! Bhairavi, ShankarAbharanam, Todi and KAmboji.
