A very lively concert by the 82 year old "Bala"murali Krishna. He rendered several of his own compositions and other popular kannada devaranamas. I liked the ranjani malika composition. Interesting swaras for the Hindolam composition and thillana sangatis were very good. The accompanying artists played their part very well.

Thanks badari. Made the necessary edits.

satyavantarige did sound like it was in bhairavi to me but was misled by some web pages which i looked up later that indicated that it is in mukhari.

In fact the organizers have mentioned that the souvenir released on that day (without any ads whatsoever and which have articles from leading musicians, pictures of all events at SRLK Mandira etc) are available - those interested may contact Sri Krishnaprasad at 77609-07939

Dear Rasikas,

Please be informed that I have recordings of 1963 and 1971 of Dr.M Balamuralikrisha held in MMA, but the the alum is identically same, excepting for the audio quality. Is there a way to know what has been sung by a given artiste during a given year from MMA archives ?

Here is some details

Concert #01 : Date 26 December 1963, accompanying artistes for BMK are MSG and TVG
Concert #02 : Date 2 January 1972, accompanying artistes for BMK are CNS and DRMR

From my listening perception the violin sound s like MSG from both concerts. How can get the details of kritis presented in each concert ? For your information I reproduce the contents of these two concerts (which is identical in my collection).
