it appears that the vAghadeeswari song was composed by
one Manavasi V. Ramaswamy Iyer in 1914 .
( sung in Navroj also )

L-ji & Prof. Pasupathy: Sounds like an amazing concert. I wish I could have been there!
Look forward to catching him when he comes to California.

N@ AjAnubAgu yuga

I have never heard anyone do neraval for nAdupai balikEru! MLV used to sing a slower, more elaborate version. Some others like OST for e.g. sing it in lieu of a mangalam and it is usually very fast faced.

BOTH GNB & MMI have done Niraval at VARIOUS places in their concerts in an extensive fashion. VKV

[annamalai]

Yep - Aajanu Bahunutha Sree Janaki Pathi is the classic neraval line - GNB, Ramnad Krishnan. I have also heard an out of the world neraval @ Veda Sannutha ( sa ma Veda Sannutha...) by TNS, Lalgudi Jayaraman, Umalyalpuram Sivaraman concert.

[Gumkhi]

There is an awesome MDR version with neraval at Aajanu Bahunutha. He tells something like "idha paadi romba naal aachu" at the start.

Thanks, Cacm, Annamalai & Gumkhi.
I will try to hunt down those recordings!
