Was an OK concert IMO. Sub-main was shanmukhapriya/chamaram- Sadashraye-MD and main was a HKMB kriti in kambhodi. i dont remember the names of the songs but there was vanajakshi varnam as the opener, then a rare(maybe. i havent heard this one) jaganmohini kriti of Tyagaraja, then an Athana alapana followed by another Tyagaraja kriti, then sub-Main with alapana and swarams, then a Patnam kriti in malayamarutham(?), then the main followed by tani, and thukdas(some 6-7 in quick succession).

To me the main kriti wasnt deep enough. Taking kambhodi was nice but I was expecting a trinity composition. The alapana for chamaram, kambhodi was everything apart from cliches albeit i yawned a lot during the kambhodi.
