Accompanied by L.Ramakrishnan - violin and B.Sivaraman -mridangam

Inexcusably Late by an hour due to traffic jam, assuming missed atleast 4 no's, but heard an excellent and long tODi alApanai rendered by this young vidushi. The rendition of the tOdi krithi was very good , her swaras had a lot of nAdaswara piDi everywhere .However the neraval was just average. The tukkadas were very good , the best was the khamAs portion of the slOkham and the subsequent krithi rendition. Both violinist and mridangist were just ok most of the time. Particularly tOdi alApana return of rAmakrishnan was too squeaky.

5A. gajavadanA sammOdhita(R N S T) - tOdi - kumAra ettendra
neraval in "vasudhA pura samrakshana devA"
5B. tani
6. muzhudhAi uNaNdAr yArO - behAg - ??

7A. slOkham "kAdhAra vindhaNE ???" -sindhubhairavi + neelAmbari + khamAs
7B. manOmOhana kaNNA nee vA - khamAs - ??
8. tillana "dheem ta dhinu" -dhanAshri -ST
9. pavamAna - mangalam

sathej,
If you can recollect, You could post the no's before tOdi.

Rajesh,
Is she the Gayatri (there are several artistes of that name) who is Suguna Purushottam's student? I saw her name in the season list this year and want to hear her. Have heard her singing with her guru. If she is SP's student, perhaps 'muzhudAi uNArndAr yArO?' is an SP composition?

k.gAyathri's guru is indeed Smt sugunA purushottam. She is shaping as a wonderful singer, you should indeed hear her . No idea about the composer, you may be right(can somebody help with the mudra of Smt sugunA purushottam.).

K.Gayatri indeed is the disciple of Vidushi Suguna Purushottaman. A promising star of a high calibre.

"muzhudhAi uNarNdAr yArO" , I hear from Gayatri , is a composition of K R Athmanathan "Athma" is praise of Swami Sri Sathya Sai Baba and was presented on the occasion of his birthday.

The khamas composition "manamohana kaNNA" based on the popular javali "Marubari" is a composition by Suguna Purushottaman.

Rajesh missed out a "Shuddh Sarang" from the list of ragas sung in the viruttham "karAra vindhENa padAra vindam".

K.Gayatri is improving by every performance,perhaps,due to her practice of hearing other artistes` performances and imbibinh good aspects from them.Her Swara patterns and neraval in the Shanmukhapriya kjriti was really enjoyable.Chakravokam raga exposition was neat and the kriti was not heard usually.Can anyone tell me the raga of the kriti `Sudha Maadurya`( I think it is not the usual Vandanadarini).Thodi brought out the best of Gayatri.Behag rendition was very good and the kriti was one I never heard before.The accompanists did their job admirably well.

In brief, Gayatri`s was an enjoyable eprformance.I have no doubt she will reach the pinnacle of success very soon.

rAgam is sindurAmakriya and sadguru ThyagarAja is the composer.

The ones before the Thodi were

1) Kanakangi - Thodi Ata Tala Varnam - O
2) Sadashraye - Chamaram - ONS
3) Etula Brotuvo - Chakravakam - AS
4) Enneramum - Devagandhari
5) Sudha Madhurya - Sindhuramakriya

It was a nice concert and the Thodi Alapanai was done nicely with a leisurely development.
