Truly fantastic concert. Not a dull moment. BMK seems to have a wonderful voice and the brighas are always flowing with ease. Especially for his age, he sings with so much ease and I was truly impressed. If you dint see him, you would think it was someone very experienced singing for many many years. I would easily classify him as a senior musician... I dont really understand if its by age that musicians are classified in different slots...
I'm not an expert in writing reviews with the song list but below it is :
1. Viribhoni - Bhairavi varnam.
2. Vathapi Ganapathim - Hamsadvani
3. Paramaathmudu - Vaagadeeshwari.
4. Yeti Janma - Varali
5. Kapaga Manohara - Malayamarutham
6. Nannupalimpa - Mohanam
7. Some jaavali - Behag.
Every single piece was rendered wonderfully... Please feel free to update with composer and thaalam. and other details.

I find it quite strange that he prefers to be called as "Master" Balamuralikrishna still, even though he is very much a Mr. now. Ten years back when he started off as a wide-eyed awe-struck skinny boy, the title fitted him well. But I guess he is sticking to it since he doesn't want his name to get confused with the veteran Balamuralikrishna as both their initials are also same M. Well for some these titles may prove to be a little lucky or as a brand also like Master Sridhar, Kutti Padmini etc.

Yes it should be problematic for him to share even his initials.

I think he is now calling himself "Kunrakuddi M Balamuralikrishna".

Thats exactly same comment, the Atlanta crowd made, when he sang here two years ago. I think he was around 19 or 20 years at that time
