great song list, great presentation! abhogi varnam was a good start, each of chittaswarams were repeated twice. begada was classical with sangathis like ssgrGa, dNdP with nice karvais around ma and tara sa. In swara prastAra, ramA used swaras like sndpnsrs-, ssgrgg--, ss-r etc.
kAntAmani was done neatly, and she announced ragA name at the end. there were sancharams like pdndNd, S- N- D- P, srggs-, pdNdP, gppdP, etc. The neraval and swaras were great too. She sang a swara korvai, ending in PA.. which is also swaraksharam at neraval line).
hindOlam alapana was sweet too, she ended in tAra shadjam, i thought RTP might follow. But she rendered popular annamayya keerthana in kanda chapu. Kambodhi alapana was well structured with classical pidis, and some sancharams with great imagination. All the brigas perfectly fell in place. She reached upto tAra panchamam (audience clapped!!!) and mandhara Ri (almost touched mandara Sa..). Tiruvadi charamam was musiri style mostly and tamil pronunciation was pretty good. In swara prastaram, she sang kanda nadai little bit, and final korvai had all 3 kalams (one down, same, and one up).
On post main pieces, all of them were great. If i were to pick one, it is nadanamakriya piece, describing about Lord Srirama's jananam.
A great satisfying concert intellectually from start to end; to be remembered for long long time. Hope we get to hear this vidushi more often in chennai, bangalore etc.

She also occasionally sang after lAlita-vibhISaNaM..
the sloka prelude to pasyati disi disi from the gItagovindam itself..9. sindhu bhairavi alapana, viruttam
was it Anandabhairavi..? i susspect it may be one of those adhyatma rAmAyana kirtanam-s.. Was it this or the previous piece that had a 'ranga-dasu' signature..?11. rAmudu udhbhavinchunAdu - nAdanAmakriya - rupakam

The sindhuramakriya song was handled well, without padacchEda.
the tirupati nArAyaNaswami javali was a welcome long lost acquaintance..

This was sung beautifully at a fast clip in adi [2].pattamaa wrote:3. adenamma - paras - adi tisra gathi - doraiswamy ayya
The kAntAmaNi and the hindOLam were both quite gripping. Vidushi Pantula Rama's total control over her voice was apparent in the kAntAmaNi where she negotiated the vivAdi swaras nonchalantly. Some great accompaniment especially from Sri Murthy on the violin. I had to leave after the kAmbhOji AlApana, unfortunately.
