Mandapaka Sarada

I read an old Hindu Review of an all Patnam concert by Smt. Mandapaka Sarada of Vizag.. She has sung several rare compositions, including the darbar Ata tala varnam of patnam. S.Iyer.

Her doctoral thesis is on a comparison of Patnam's style and that of ThyagarAja..

I would be grateful if rasikas who have her contact details can pass on the same..

The email id given on her webpage hosted by the university is not functional..

I would also be interested in knowing more about these rare compositions...

You were probably referring to this article: http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/fr/2 ... 640200.htm

The artist's resume(http://www.andhrauniversity.info/andhra ... p?var=E200) is impressive!

Sure would be great if she gave concerts in Chennai, being a specialist in paTTaNam subrahmaNya aiyyar's compositions.
