What a concert? It lasted a little more than 3.5 hours and Malladi brothers never ever disappoint the audience. This is just yet another example of that. I was the one to request Harikambhoji krithi and personally it was immensely satisfying. There was a 2-day workshop on Bhadrachala Ramadasu compositions mainly with couple of Annamayya and Narayana theertha compositions also. It was very very informative for all the students who participated in it.

What a fine Raga and song selection!
Certainly you had a wonderful musical treat !
I am sure you had a special treat from SRK too!
Any chance of a recording?

if thodi is a Syama Sastri krithi, my guess is the krithi - Karunanidhi illalo - a DKJ classic - the lilt with which DKJ sings and UKS accompaniment is out of the world.
