Loved his Pankaja Lochana:-)

[pvs]

@ Venkat Ramachandran #3 was Kappaduve unadhu baram (Tanjore quartet?)

Pankaja Lochana was awesome indeed!

A lovely artist who delivers chaste carnatic music.

No, its a composition of Veda Nayagam Pillai. It has a lovely chittswaram

[sureshvv]

No to which part? Was that the kriti sung?

3. A Tamil song on Tanjore brhadeeswara in Anandha bhairavi
...

By any chance was the song ettanai tAn viddai kaTrAlum - Anandabhairavi - Anai Ayaa . This song is on thiruvayaru,
Or
Is there any other song on Tanjore Brhadeeswara in Ananda bhaivai that I donot know yet??
Some one can let me know the exact song ??

[Venkat Ramachandran]

i'm not able to recollect the exact song, but it was on Tanjore Brhadeeswara

[knrh05]

It was Kappaduve unadhu baram.

@Rajeshnat
I was in the second row and have no doubt that it was Kappaduve

@ MV thank you. Yes the cittaswaram was very lively and lovely.

ps: I am still wondering if it is by one of the Tanjore quartet. Vedanayagam Pillai compositions always have the "Vedanayagan" signature. This one does not. Also IIRC this was popularized by TM Thyagarajan who specialized (among other things) in the works of the quartet.

Check the link. The consensus is Sivanandam(not tanjore quartet or ponniah pillai) . I think MV erred by mentioning as vedanayagam pillai

Sivanandam is one of members of the Tanjore quartet.

[rajeshnat]

Thanjavur Quartet - Ponniah, Chinniah, Sivanandam and Vadivelu

Actually I know this song. My Sir didn't give me name of composer but I have later noted it down as Vedanayakam Pillai. The story goes that he is Christian who became Hindu and composed many songs using 'Brihadeeshwara' as his mudra. Maybe Amrita Murali herself is the best person to confirm this. I have heard Sanjay sing this as well.
