Brilliant concert to kick start the 2 week Shivarathri Kalotsav at Odukathur mutt. Superb swaras of Abhogi and an outstanding purvikalyani ( I've not heard this kriti before) were the highlights of the evening.

Yesterday was a day when one had too many options to choose from. Sanjay was singing at Gayana Samaja, TMK at Giri Nagar, Ranjani & Gayathri, Maharajapuram Ramachandran.. Seldom had so many top aritsts performing on the same day at Bangalore. Deciding to attend Sri NSG, in the end was a great choice ( especially when Sanjay did a 1hr+ RTP in 'kalyani' :-) ) personally...

Looks like you had a mini savarAthri without swaras in RTP, but still a nice sivaRAthiri in terms of numbers on Lord shivA. Also glad to hear that there are 4 concerts in bangalore , bangalore is indeed growing . NGS is a terrific AbhOgi singer.

Rajesh, swaras was sung in Sankarabharanam.. No Ragamalika swaras.. Interestingly there was a lot of MMI styles swaras for Sankarabharanam initially.

With your statement No rAgamAliga swaras, now it is clear thanks. I have not heard (in the sense not even read in the print) the GKB - poorvikalyAni number

I attended this concert and was a very good one.
Very happy to see NSG all the time appreciating his team which lifted the concert.
All the swaras were terrific and "short" explanations preceding each Krithi was worth for.

Purvikalyani was dedicated for "Arjunkumar" (Nandi maddaLam :-))

Shouldn't the tALam of the the RTP be maTya tALam, and not madhya?

My kids gave me only one hour between 6.45pm and 7.45pm for this concert.
It was worth it. I heard Abhoghi, Kedaram, Shanmugapriya and Poorvikalyani alapana.
Poorvikalyani alapana was top class.
I haven't seen Santhanagopalan going to the higher octaves effortlessly in the recent times.
I left after he started the song.

Seems to be quite loaded in favour of Tamil and GK Bharathi songs. Missed it due to agony of choice. Made it to Sanjay's.
