Sri Manoj Siva - Mridangam
Rakthaganapathim - Mohana - Adi (with brief swaras).
Gangeyabhushani raga alapana with Evvare Ramayya of Tyagaraja was sung. Swarakalpana was done at swaraakshara part of the kriti - 'Nee Sa Ri - Evvare'.
Complete change in mood and shade, came out with Ramabhakti in Sudda Banagala ragam.
Beautiful Behag alapana with its soothing effect for Smarajanaka of Swathi Tirunal was sung taking 'Padmanaabha Jagannutha' for a short and sweet neravu.
Bhairavi as the main, Dr. Pantula Rama sang 'Yaaro Ivar Yaaro' of Arunachala kavi, with the lines 'Chandra Bimba Mukha.... oru kaale' for neravu and swarakalpana.
Sri M. S. N. Murthy's and Sri Manoj Siva's accompanying was very supportive giving a wholesome effect to the concert. It made me realise, the importance of a diver and a stick for a smooth boat ride.
A graceful Chetaha Sriramam, a joyful Dolayam and an enjoyable Athana Thillana were the makutam for this concert.
