-----------------------------------------------------------------
I am interested in knowing what Prasanna sang in this concert. This concert was a 4 hr concert.. Having heard few 4 hour concerts in the past , it is personally very special to me. Prasanna is a brilliant vidwan and he must have given a great concert. IIRC he was accompanied by V Sanjeev (violin) and B Ganapathyraman (mrudangam). Can some one post the songlist with the review please (I am assuming for sure atleast Bharath or SureshVV would have been there)?

I was there but did not make notes. From memory:

1. Begada Ata tala varnam
...
2. Kalyani, Subbaraya Sastry
...
3. Hindolam, Neerajakshi, Dikshitar
4. [update]Vararagalaya[/update], Senju kambodhi
5. Kambodhi, Neelakanta Sivan
...
6. Tillana, Gambhira Vani, T.K.Govinda Rao

Will fill in the blanks as things comes back up to me.

He sang a beautiful nAtakapriyA.The AlApanai was excellent.Forgot the kriti.
There was a mini RTP in sAvEri.
He sang effortlessly and the 4 hrs concert was like a 2 hrs.concert;I mean to say the rasikas (a medium turn out)were not tired.

As I remember, he went 20 mins extra!
