Due to the chaotic traffic, i reached the venue a little late....Heard from the swarams for Nalinakanthi krithi. So , ppl, if you know the complete list, pls fill in !

Vocals : K.N.Shashikiran and Ganesh
Violin : H.N.Bhaskar
Mridangam : H.S.Sudheendra
Mohrsing : A.S.Krishnan

1.Kanna un-Nalinakanthi-Adi - ? (S)
2.Maayamma-Ahiri-Adi-Shyama shastri
3.Anupama Gunambudhi-Atana-Kanta chapu-Tyagaraja(S)
4.RTP-Varamu-Adi
"Saamagaanalolane sadaashiva suthane"
5.Narayanathe-Behag-Adi-Annamacharya


Nalinakanthi swarams sounded pleasant ! Just that the sound systems were not great...It was very average, and could have been better !

After Ahiri, came up the brisk Atana....and the swarams at "Rajakula..." reminded Ariyakudi's rendering !!

Varamu raga alapanai shared by Shashikiran and Ganesh was very flowy and melodious. H.N.Bhaskar too played the ragam and the thaanam exceedingly well.

The pallavi was at 1/2 eduppu...with arudhi kaarvai 7.

It was a beautiful contrast to hear Ganesh sing Vasanti, Shashikiran sing Rathipathipriya and Bhaskar play Mohanam in the Ragamalika swarams for the Pallavi.

H.S.Sudheendra and A.S.Krishnan gave wonderful support to the singers and had the kucheri moving in a good pace !

I had to leave early as well....Left the hall when "Narayanathe" was on....

If some one knew what the rest were, help me by filling in !

The role of Pakka vaadyams is very important...that was seen in this concert...really enhanced the overall performance !
