This is a filler before someone comes up with a comprehensive review. As I'm quoting from memory, the order is jumbled up!
Mathe -Khamas
Mana Chekko Vayya - Sarasangi
Kalyanarama - Hamsanadham
Guruvayoorappane Appan -Ritigowla
Sarasasamadhana - Kapinarayini
Brovavamma Tamasa - Manji
Sri rajagopala-Saveri
Saravana Bhava - Pasupathipriya
Pallavi in 4 kalai Sankirna Triputa (K'Priya with a graha bhedam to Kalyani). Ragamalika swaras were in Vasanthi and Shuddh Sarang.
Her pallavi execution was amazing. Sanjeev was all class on the violin but he appeared to falter in the pallavi on one occasion. I missed the main and the thani. When I returned, the applause for the thani was deafening. Clearly, Poongulam and Karthik served up something special for laya fans.

The complete list is :
1) Mathe – Khamas Daru Varnam - O
2) Yochana – Darbar
3) Manaviche – Sarasangi – AS
4) Guruvayaurappane – Reethigowlai – O
5) Kalyanarama (preceded by a Shlokam)– Hamsanadam – ANS
6) Brovavamma – Manji – S
7) Sarasa Samadana – Kapi Narayani
8) Shri Rajagopala – Saveri – ANST
9) Sharavanabhava – Pashupathipriya
10) RTP – Kharaharapriya (with a Graha Bedham to Kalyani in the Ragam) – Sankeerna Triputa Talam – 4 Kalai
Pallavi line : Parama Dayakara Vara Suguna Madaharana Sita Ramachandra Sharanu Sharanu
Ragamalika Swarams in Vasanthi and Shudha Sarang
11) Ramakrishnaru- Dasar Padam- Thilang
12) Muddugare – Kurinji
13) Ragamalika Virutham followed by Sada Enna Hrudaythalli – Behag
14) Thillana – Sindubhairavi
15) Mangalam
It was a well planned concert delivered with precision. The Khamas Daru Varnam is always a nice way to begin a concert with. Am hearing it live after a long time. The Sarasangi Alapanai was well rendered. The violinist Shri Sanjeev’s version was very good as well. The Krithi-a relatively rare one, was a good choice. The Reethigowlai Krithi was rendered leisurely, but not before some acoustics problems. The Hamsanadam piece was sung well. The violinist had some adventuristic phrases to play especially during the end of the Alapanai. The Swarams here deserve a special mention.
Brovavamma in Manji, a touching Krithi, is always a delight. The surprise here was a short round of Swarams for two Eduppus – Brovavamma and Thamasamele.
The high point to me was the Neraval for the main piece-Saveri. It was done very elaborately. The Tani lasted for about 20 minutes with both Shri Poongulam Subramaniam and Shri S Karthik doing a great job. Especially liked a Korvai on the Ghatam (don’t remember the details). Sharavanabhava by Muthiah Bhagavathar was a brisk filler.
Then a detailed Kharaharapriya Alapanai for nearly half an hour in three stages was done followed by Tanam for about 10-12 minutes. The Tanam was rendered with percussion accompaniment. The intricate and challenging Pallavi was nicely executed with Trikalam. The violinist responded admirably well, except for a small error, during Swarams, as sbala has pointed out.
The concert actually lasted for 4.5 hours. Overall, a concert to remember for quite some time, for good planning and execution.

To add to what Sathej has written:
I have never heard neraval for the hamsanatha kriti. Neraval at "raghava rama, raghurama, rama, Janakajaramanamanohara" created a meditative mood. Similarly, neraval for the saveri kriti at "Dheeraagraganya dheena charanya' was deveoped so nicely that a discerning lover of music shall be able to recall and enjoy as many would do in the case of old masters. It was a presentation slightly different from her mentor and well suited to her voice.
