As far as the contrast between wishing for the Trinity's (I dont like that word much since the songs of Patnam etc are not of a lower standard) compositions and wishing for Tamil compositions goes, singing in Tamil ipso facto won't raise the quality of a concert while it is the other way round for songs of Thyagaraja, Dikshitar and Sastri.
T,D&S are still the standard against which the quality of others' compositions are evaluated. No one holds Tamil (or for that matter any other language) as a standard for musical quality.
Asking for more Tamil songs (or Kannada songs or Sanskrit songs) is not the same as asking for the Trinity's songs. I hope therefore people wont repeat this comparison between Tamil çompositions & CM Trinity compositions ad nauseum.
