I reached the concert venue about 30-35 min late after attending the concert of Malladi Brothers at Karthik Fine Arts. Here is the partial song list:
* kshEmam kuru gOpAlA - darbAr - misra chApu - nArAyaNa tIrtar
* shambO mahAdEva - pantuvarALi - rUpakam - thyAgarAja (AS)
* manasulOni - varamu (sudha hindOLam) - Adi - thyAgarAja (A)
* kANa kaN kODi - kAmbOji - Adi - pApanAsam sivan (ANST)
* kA vA vA - varALi - Adi - pApanAsam sivan
* vaNNamAl marayE (viruttam) - rAgamAlikA
srInivAsa tiru vEnkaTa - hamsAnandi - Adi - pApanAsam sivan
* eppo varuvArO - jOnpuri - Adi - gOpAlakrishna bhArati
* petravaLum nI (viruttam) - suruTTi
* pavamAna (mangaLam) - sOwrAshtram - Adi - thyAgarAja
vAzhiya sentamizh - madyamAvati - Adi - subramaNya bhArati
(Key: O=raga outline, A=raga alapana, N=neraval, S=kalpana swaram, T=taniavartanam)
It was just another one of those usual TVS concerts with almost the same repeated song list. No surprises. The kambOji raga alapana was really good and so was the rendition of the kriti. Sri Nagai Sriram followed Sri TVS like his shadow and he was so good that he would have reproduced even a sneeze by TVS on the violin. Except him, all other artists were playing taniavartanam throughout the concert. Ellarum avaa pAttukku vaasichindirundha .... TVS paattukku illai (exact translation not possible as it spoils the meaning). The actual taniavartanam played by Sri Bhaktavatsalam in the kAmbOji kriti was really good and Sri Amrith managed his replies well.
