with VV Ravi, J Vaidyanathan, KV Gopalakrishnan @ Ragasudha Hall

[sankark]

Started with sweet stroke of MMG followed by a fantastic AdikkondAr andha Adalaik kANa adorned with energetic swarams @ Ara navamaNi mAlaigal Ada. A great start!
kEdAram outline so it is inevitable to be followed by Ananda natana prakAsam in light of thiruvAdirai darisanam. It is Ananda natana

[sankark]

One learns something new everyday. Didn't know AdikkondAr has 3 charaNams - http://www.karnatik.com/c2440.shtml

sahAnA I vasudhA
nambikkettavar evarayyA
kAmbhOji, will it be a nod to GKB (thiruvadi charaNam) or vInai kuppaiyer (koniyAdina nApai)?

[sankark]

Neither it was. She went with Papavinasa Mudliyar's nadamAdith thirindha umakku. And the pace and voicing of lyrics projects a sense of intimacy in questioning between two friends. swarams@thirunIraich chumandhIrO

Mostly yes. She has certainly moved beyond good in steady march toward greatness.

Lovely Bharath Sundar . nice choice of phrases to highlight the respective ragas where there are popular krithis . Great idea in pallavi words.

THe pallavi line "Ananda natanam AdinAr idadhu pAdham thUkki Isan sadA" as per sankark- YOu missed the sadA with that phrase perhaps the ragam should have been bahudari as it connects with the krithi sada Ananda
Kudos also to vidya kalyanaraman to sing this pallavi. I wish I was there .

As I mentioned that the pallavi lyrics was composed by Bharat Sundar - the creativity certainly belongs to Vidya Kalyanaraman - Kudos both of them

Ms Vidya Kalyanaraman concert at HAMSADHWANl on 13 April 2018 Friday was one of the BEST by her. Vidya planned her concert very systematically and kept up the Cutcherys pattern very nicely. At the early stages she sang KALYANI and kept up the tempo like IPL T20 game. The highlight of the evening was the great evergreen MADURAI MANI IYER favourite composed by ever great legend SRI Papanasam SIVANS Kambodi raga gem of KANAKANKODI VENDUM. VIDYA excelled all along and sang it with pure devotion . It was fitting song on the day of PRODOSHAM and the rasikas enjoyed every bit of it.VIDYA is one of our technically perfect singers and sure to scale big heights soon. The Violin, Mridangam and Ghatam was very cooperative and support strength. VIDYA SURE to have God's blessings and KUDOS Vidya!
