[Lakshman]

vihAra mAnasa is usually sung in hindustAni kApi.
yArukkAgilum bhayamA is by Subbarama Iyer
nI mATale mAyanurA is in pUrvikalyANi by Pattabhiramayya.

[srikant1987]

In this concert, vihAra mAnasa was in jaya manOhari, m'cApu.

Also, I think the "sobillu rAgam" is called jaganmOhini, where as shrIvidyA is said to be jaganmOhanam. shrIvidyA is indeed trishra Eka.

The tillAna was set to shankarAbharaNam and AditALam, and is a composition of Patnam Subramaniya Iyer I think.

[sankark]

Lakshman, is that vihara mAnasa rAmE you refer to? This song's lyric started vihara mAnasa sadA. Googling gave a reference to suddha bhairavi.

[gardabha_gana]

Srikant didn't know you were there. Absolutely pristine music! Tillana was indeed sankarabharanam. Really enjoyed both MA and Nada Inbam concerts. Easwaran indeed raised the concert experience.

[CRama]

Excellent song list, I missed it
Maamava satatam is in Jaganmohini and Sree Vidya Rajagopalam is in Jaganmohanam- both being her masterpieces.
Yes. Vihara manasa sada is in Sudhabhairavi. A very rare song.

[rshankar]

The jAvaLi must have been nI mATal(u y)Emayeni rA? - one in which the nAyikA takes her paramour to task for making false promises and making her change her intentions (EmEmO bOdhinci nannE mAra cEsevurA), in pUrvIklayANI.

Her concert at the MA was bliss, but felt that it should have been just a little longer, for the sake of the RTP. Of course, such extensions are not possible at the MA.

This concert was utter bliss! What a pity we do not Rajesh to provide us with the timings, but the total time fell just a minute or two short of three full hours. I told her, "The danger of singing for three hours is that we will be asking for four " She smiled, and said, "Yes!"

Never the twain shall meet, and all that, but I bought my wife a ticket to see Parveen Sultana, and she joined me at RS hall later in the evening. What a shame the concerts fell on the same day, and the choice had to be made: I would have loved to see both. It is an easy choice. Whether the date means anything to us or not, there is something amazingly special about 25 December, Smt RV, and RS Hall.

In this concert, vihAra mAnasa was in jaya manOhari, m'cApu.

Should this now be called The Scottish Talam?

[sankark]

Total duration was 2 hours 50 mins. IIRC, 6:20 to 9:10
