A concert with poise and verve from the brothers.

GnanamosagarAda - nice swarams

tyAgarAja yOga vaibhavam - complete flow control. Interesting that they would have a go at it even at the loss of synchrony between them - feeling its caukam and kArvais with abandon. Else for a duet standard pAtantarams are dished out.

dayajUcuda kidhivELa - gAna vAridhi - Adi - tyAgaraja ( only rendition I have heard before is that of a TNS Album). Felt that they missed holding kArvai for an Avarta in bhava vAraNa mRg(E)... would have elevated better. But nicely rendered otherwise. Also a few round of svarams could have been added to ice it off.

kEdara gauLa was a good exposition from Ganesh. It seems though this rAga phrasings have a starting trouble - the ending is always more of the essence - ;)

MAS return - he could avoid that easily. He started with "shatadhruti pUjita gajarAjuni" tune from Saraguna pAlimpa. Wrong guess? ;)

tulasi bilva was somewhat different rendition in terms of syllable positions than from Sri Nedunuri. Seems a more rhythm oriented. Svarams were very interesting. Lot of patterns with sa-pa. Final kOrvai resembled what Dr BMK does usually.

Enjoyed the tani - especially the tiSram - from Tanjore Murgabhoopathy - what is usually a geometric kOrvai setup turned into Arithmetic progression 12 - 9 - 6. Good interaction with S.V Ramani.

Final kOrvai - 3 Avartas each round from samam ( IIRC) - adjusting to (1/4th) (3*64+2 = 194 mAtras) every time leading into the 3/4th eDuppu for uramuna. Too much of telescopic planning. Interesting to break it down.

Another instance of kappi Mridangam tone - good sound.

Had to stop listening here.
