khamAs, sAvEri, and suruTTi - what more could one ask for?! Lucky you, Srikant! I'll be listening to Prof. TNK in Singapore this Friday. All my experiments are welcome to fail this week!

Sad that I couldn't make it to this! I find the Saveri followed by Bhavayami very interesting! So, he played swarams at every raagam?

It's so easy to be greedy! kAmbhOji, maybe? I was wanting a kAmbhOji, but before the concert, I decided I'll settle for a khamAs ... and the sabha is connected to Mysore Vasudevachar, so this khamAs was expectable. Actually I was praying for a nIlAmbari, and it came too ... though without an AlApanai. And the maNirangu sketch while finishing the mangalam should be mentioned too!

It so happens I attended absolutely no concerts between this and http://rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=15709 ! Both TNK solos, in ambiences he liked (and with TASM)! I sat, again, cross-legged, not far from the stage.

I would have liked to attend yesterday's Naada Surabhi flute concert, but that was not to happen.

So, he played swarams at every raagam?

He played the ciTTaswarams that come in the composition, but not kalpanA swaras.

Oh sorry, the "rAga mAlika" appears where "<rAga name>" should come. It is written to state that the composition itself is (was played as) a rAga mAlika, not rAga mAlika swarams.

Srikant, are you a violinist yourself? I see you also refer to the instrument as fiddle, a la rbharath. Any particular reason?

I do play the violin.

After this :$-incident:

I decided I will call instruments by a variety of names.

Srikant, LOL! I noticed the kanjari, too.

That's my post! Haha
I remember Srikant correcting me about it being Kanjira and not Kanjari some time!
