Seems like cursing rasikas had some positive effect. Did not take me to DDOS or login screen for previous comment.

Comprehensive mike testing was done with kedaram & Ananda natana prakasam with curtains down & before scheduled start of concert.

Swarajathi had so may movements tailored for dance as also some beautiful swaraksharas.. Have never heard this item before.

Item #2 starts high like Simhendra Madhyamam. Just as one may rest assured, she brings it down into Lathangi territory. A nice expansive alapana with sangathis of the pallavi of pirava varan thaarum.

Continuing in googly mood, she announces that it will be a Papanasam Sivan kriti & breaks into Venkataramana. Exquisite neraval @ a fully stretched Alarmelmangai manaala. Swaras in 2 speeds followed by a nicely sculpted korvai accurately reproduced by L.Ramakrishnab brings an outpouring of applause from the audience, many with hands raised.

Next an item that sent the heart racing of many a rasika 3 years ago at same venue. Kavikunjara bharathi's tamil javali in kambodhii with the trademark glide - Ivan aaro sakhiye. Another slam dunk!

An abbreviated Todi alapana for main to fit within time alotted to time slot. Marimutha Pillai's ninda stuthi Enneramum oru kaalai thooki is the kriti chosen.

Rasikas hiccupped again but it seems that I managed to slip my post in just in time.

Theme was "Thithikkum Thamizh".

Thought KVC attempted a successful guess but can't find it anymore.
