Not the answer you are looking for but the violinist seems to be Tirupakkadal Veeraraghavan and the mrudangam artiste seems to be Guruvayur Dorai.

The vocalist is Sri Ayyalore Krishnan. Mohan is right in identifying the violinist and mridangist.
I am unable to recollect the name of the Ghatam vidwan. (will try !!)

K M Vaidyanathan resembled vocalist and musicologist Dr S Ramanathan. I was witness to an incident where a rasika went upto KMV in Sastri Hall and said "Netraikku neengal romba pramaadama paadinel" (you sang very well yesterday!). KMV just smiled in reply.
