Had to leave then. S & T would have followed that

Highlights

+ voice, not cloyingly sweet though.
+ selection of songs & soft on ears music
+ percussion
+ nereval in thOdi. I personally felt a nereval @ mandahAsa or bhAnukirana would have been even better
+ kambhoji alApana
- while ahiri was good, it was the predictable mAyamma while the grand Avaranam languishes

[Lakshman]

Item #4 - If it is Patnam Subramania Iyer, tee rAgA is not simhEndramadhyam. He has not composed a song in this rAgA. But there is marivErE dikkevarayya rAmA in SanmukhapriyA.

[sankark]

Sorry for the extra I. It was PS, not PSI.

[Lakshman]

It must have been one of these songs:
ihaparamenum or en manam UsalADa.

[rbharath]

item 4 was
ikaparamenu in simmendra madhyamam
there was neraval and svarams at 'guha saravanabhava siva bala'

The ghatam vidwan was Sri Hariharasubramanian

[narayan]

mAyamma in Ahiri is adi talam, isn't it?

[rbharath]

mAyamma in Ahiri is adi talam, isn't it?

yes, it is
