I didn't attend this concert, but after hearing from fellow bangaloreans - Jayan & Krishna - i missed a great concert. I listened to the audio, what a majestic simhendra madhayamam & bhairavi... Simply great...

I liked the song selection, though no trademark TNS varnam. Started with Brochevarevare, and arabhi pancharatna & navagraha tuesday kriti - angarakam. Simehndramadhyamam is simply superb, and elaborate. The song is also equally good. Rangalayakam is sung excellently well in vilambakalam. Madhura madhura is also great. Bhairavi - excellent sangathis in raga alapana.. While listening, i thought he will do shruti bedam in either simhendra madhayamam or Bhairavi, but not so.

Violin : V V Ravi
Mrudangam : Sreemushnam Rajarao
Ganjira : Vyasavittala

01 Brochevarevare - Sriranjani
02 Sadinchane - Arabhi
03 Angarakam - Surutti
04 Asaindadum Mayil Onru - Simhendramadhyamam
05 Ranganayakam - Nayaki
06 Madhura Madhura - Atana
07 Bala Gopala - Bhairavi
08 Felicitations
09 Virutham and Gaana Mazhai - Ragamalika
10 Thillana - Hamir Kalyani

Neraval at nIla nIrada sharIra

20-22 min alapana, 10 min violin, 10 min krithi , 8-10 min neraval and about 12 min of kalpanaswaras.

Neraval was beautifully rendered. He might have got into time pressure during kalpanaswaras. I was expecting another treat for 20-25 mins because of the build-up.

It is his own composition if it starts with "tom dhru tAni tadara tAni".
