A 3 hour 40 mins wonderful concert by Dr.Nithyashree Mahadevan.
She sang songs of almost all writers which was interesting .
Highlight of the concert - a brilliant RTP which was really exhilarating.Hemavati was given in full justice and the pallavi was absolutely thrilling interesting feature was she kept the counts in both hands and executed it marvelously.A sheer joy for ears .
She took atana for sub main and did a energetic alap and followed with bala kanakamaya.Most of the concerts I have been atana was relegated to tukkada or in rtp swara.It was nice to hear atana as sub main.
The alaap of Purvikalyani had its touches and she bought out the kriti well.
bharatha samudayam brought the house down with patriotic applause.
Each and every song was a gem rendered melodiously.
Both Krishnaswamy and Skandasubramanian who have been accompanying her for many concerts played with expectation and good rapport was seen with all the 3 exchanging nods of appreciation.
A brilliant concert which the rasikas will cherish for long.

[priyashekar]

Ramkali i heard for first time .Is it a raga to be sung in morning ? since it sounded to me similar to boopalam or bowli.can expert guide and elaborate

[PUNARVASU]

'koovi azhaittAl' sindhubhairavi or valaji?

[balakk]

There's a "Pahimam Sri Rajarajeshwari" in Nattai too?

[rajeshnat]

'koovi azhaittAl' sindhubhairavi or valaji?

OP must have put as
Koovi azhaikka - sindhubhairavi - papanAsam sivan
which is different than koovi azhaittAl - valachi - kavigzar vAli

[S.Balaji]

Koovi azaithaal kural koduppan is in Valachi . I have heard Sudha Raghunathan singing this in Valachi.

[Sreeni Rajarao]

Bandanene ranga in Vasanti - I would like to hear this. Any chance of a recording?
I have heard this (and liked it) only in Sri raga.

[priyashekar]

I guess the sabha had recorded the event.Unfortunately i did not

[priyashekar]

Did anyone attend the Sanjay Subramanian concert on 30th Jan at same place ? Can some one post a review or alteast the list.I missed it as I had to leave for Delhi .
