Vignesh Ishwar - Vocal
L. Ramakrishnan - Violin
K.H Vineet - Mridangam

1) Darbar varnam - Chalemela
2) Kannada - Sri Mathrubootham
3) Saveri - Shankari Shankuru
4) Andolika - Sevikka vendum ayya
5) Kamboji - Evari Matta
6) Viruttam in Behag followed by idhu thaano thillai sthalam
7) Hey Govind hey gopal in Desh

The nereval for Saveri was beautiful. The Kamboji always felt like coming and it came down so beautifully reminding of T.M Krishna at each beautiful passage. The phrases punctuating around dhaivatam sounded so beautiful and relaxing. The neravals were rendered beautifully for Kamboji especially the ones centered around thara sthayi gandharam and madhyamam.The whole piece was handled at a very leisurely pace by Vignesh. L Ramakrishnan was equally relaxing on the violin which was a pleasure nd soothing to listen to without the mikes.

Thanks for your review. The varnam must be in the ragam Durbar and not Durbari.

I am sorry, that was a typo error.
