Ramakrishnan Murthy
RK Shriramkumar Violin
K Arun Prakash –Mirudangam

Singing on behalf of Saraswati Vageyakara Trust at Narada Gana Sabha Mini Hall, Trinity Music Festival) organized by them.
I would say one of the best in recent times. It was absolutely mellifluous throughout and was brilliantly supported by RK Shriramkumar Violin K Arun Prakash –Mirudangam (the rasikas assembled cannot ask for more with this wonderful combination) Ramakrishna Murthy's voice has tremendous improvement over the years and he has started hitting his peak. It is worth attending music concerts now to listen to them in a relaxed frame of mind than during the Music Season.

Beautiful list! I would love to hear the sarasvati manOhari kRti - I have heard (Keerthi or Vidya - can you confirm?) that it's the companion kRti to the more prevalent one in kamalA manOhari - and that the 'requirement' of symmetry (delighted of lakshmi and delighter of sarasvati) resulted in the name of the rAga changing from manOhari to kamalA manOhari.....
