[ganeshkant]

Violin:M.R.GOpinAth
Mri:sHerthala Ananthakrishnan

Some of the songs sung:

1.Varnam – kalyAni – Adi
2.chEthasri – dwijAvanti
3.aparama bhakthi – (R,S@kapivaridhi)
4.a tamil song in asAveri (has lines upachAram,namaskaram,etc.)
5.Krishnam bhaja mAnasa – Todi – (R,N,S,T)

BMK sang with a lot of verve and dedication which was quite obvious. He has put in a lot of hard work that can be inferred. The melody content in his singing has improved much to the satisfaction of the rasikAs.ChEtasri was sung in pure SSI style.Both PantuvarAli and Todi were treated nicely and had some very tough sangathis which he executed perfectly. Very Good.

M.R.Gopinath played nicely as always.SAK played beautifully with soft chollus that sweetened the ears.

is this the full list?
he had a few concerts in his recent trip to NY and each of them was excellent. For a long time meant to post the lists but never got to it.. But distinctly remember some outstanding raaga alapanas for shuba-pantuvarali, hameer kalyani, thodi etc. amidst them.
