This wasn't a great concert, but it has a great list. Almost everything sang here are not heard in concerts( except khamas and bilahari). He wasn't keeping very well and that had some issues especially during alapana. But this very list, I think, is worth spending some time on.

1. Kalyani varnam had 'sahityam' for the chittaswaram , it was similar to a padavarnam.
2. Gurjari alapana was very nice. I haven't heard one before.
3. An Englsih Javali , mostly a javali with a lot of English words.
4. The State Anthem of Mysore,which said to have inspired Rabindranath Tagore to create songs in similar tunes.
...and many more.

Jayan
I just saw a series of reviews by you, after KSSR put a post in the other shertalai thread . Please always post here in rasikas and not just restrict it to your blog . I prefer you doing a double copy as what bharath does (in both blog and rasikas) or else a notification like badari with just a link to your blog . Double copy will always be better as we can continue our threaded discussion here in rasikas.

Which is the state anthem of mysore, is it the last one in shankarAbharanam.

[Rsachi]

Isn't this the anthem? I thought I gave the link to his singing it in the other thread :

Item #7 is by Kshetragna.

Item #7 is by Kshetragna.

Lakshmanji, I remember he saying its by Ponnaiah Pillai. Would you have the lyrics by any cnahce..

[Lakshman]

I was mistaken. The Kshetragna song is Inta telisiyundi i gunamelara (p) in bilahari. I don't have the lyrics but it is in the book Kshetragna Padamulu, vol 1/page 35, by Ramasami Shastri.
