[sankark]

BU Ganeshprasad violin, J Vaidyanathan mridangam, Alathur Rajaganesh khanjira

rAvE himagiri (swarajathi) - thOdi - Adi - SS preceded by slokam, raga brief outline
dEva dEva jadadIshwara - pUrvikalyAni - Adi - ST (raga sketch, ns@padmanAbha vasamE hrdi mAdhava)
10 mins of bliss (Alapanai) followed by badalika dhIrA - rItigowlai - Adi - T (rs@pallavi). The song didn't match the bliss/grandeur of alapanai. bAlE bAlendu or dwaithamu sukhama would have suited that Alapanai better.
srI guruguhasya dAsOham - pUrvi - m cApu - MD. Was wondering after listening to the pallavi and till madhyamakAlam how this raga would lend to a madhyamakAlam. Wow, MD knew how to bring that out in this rAgam too, didn't he. Would have loved some slow speed swarams landing at the start of madhyamakAlam passage.
srI raghuvara apramEya - kAmbhOji - Adi - T (rns@sArasa hita kulAbja, brief entertaining tani. the Alapanai & nereval in the mEl sthAyi was pretty good)
saranu saranu saranu saranu - ? - Adi - ?
kumara gurupara (thiruppugazh )

+JV & his percussion counterpart. What a nAdam, metallic, soothing thing that he produces.

Overall a very good concert with pretty thin attendance.

If the sharaNU sharaNu sharaNu sharaNu song was in Anandabhairavi, it is by Yogi Narayana Yatindra.

[keerthi]

More likely it is the janjUTi song by the Anai-Ayya brothers.
