Great concert with all elements... nice swara combinations for kalanidhi, very detailed and brilliant surati alapana, relaxed huseni keerthana. Varamu swarams also registered well with me... Kalyani - not sure if this is right choice, didn't go well... but thanks to bhajare re, i could remain focused on concert... Devamanohari RTP ! nice choice, a blistering thanam with nice patterns, and pallavi very nicely presented...

nagai sriram followed like shadow, almost reproduced every thing sowmya sang, and gave nice replies... subramanyam and team supported well without hindering main artist in percussion department... crowd was rather sparse..

[Madras Talkies]

It was a nice concert.. Noteworthy sections: Kalanidhi swaram, suruti Alapana and Devamanohari rtp..

I ended up being at Academy d entire day. All three Sikkil Mala, Bharat Sundar and Sowmya handled kalyani yesterday .. Kalyani was a overdose.. .

Enna punniyam seidheno was not set to Reethigowlai? I presume the rendered krithi was composed by Sri. Venkata Subbaiyer.

[rupavathi]

This was a composition of Ramalinga Adigalar in misra chapu.

4. enna punniyam seidheno - huseni - misra chapu

This was a composition of Ramalinga Adigalar in misra chapu.

There is a song enna punniyam seidhayO in huseni by sivanAmayOgi . Are there two enna punniyam krithis in huseni , one by ramalinga adigalar and other by sivanAmayogi. Of course there is also a reetigowlai OVK krithi which is the third one.

[HarishankarK]

Yenna punniyam seidhaayo - Is there one in Arunachala Kavirayar's Rama Natakam as well, sung in huseini ??

[bhakthim dehi]

Is that not eppadi manam thunindadho?

[Navaneethakrishnan]

Great concert by Sowmya.
