Malladi brothers presented a steady and sedate concert. The emphasis was on compositions and they sang quite a few. The suddha dhanyasi and arabhi kriti at the start were very nice. Tyagaraja's musical excellence was again asserted with another kalyani master piece, they sang it very well. I was wondering about how many grand compositions he has created in kalyani, kamboji, karaharapriya, sankarabharanam, pantuvarali etc.

Mannargudi Easwaran's mridangam accompaniment all through the concert stood out and was very pleasing. H K Venkataram's alapanas were good. Chandrasekhara sharma pitched in well.

Is it Saami Dayajooda or Swami Dayajooda?
