Those of you that did not attend the concert yesterday, please feel free to rue the day of your misfortune. Master BMK was just grand.

Bhairavi Varnam - Viriboni - Ata Tala (brief sketch of raga, 2 speeds) - Pachimiriyam Adiyappaya
Mayamalavagowlai - Deva Deva - Roopakam (NS at jatarupa) - Swati Tirunal
Vagadeeswari - Paramatmudu - Adi - Thyagaraja
Simmendramadhyamam - Ninne nammitinayya (R, NS at pannagendra sayana) - M Chapu - Mysore Vasudevachar
Yadhukulakambhoji - Yarendru ragavanai (Brief raga sketch, moving nonetheless) - Adi - Arunachala Kavirayar
Dhenuka - Theliyaleru - desadi - Thyagaraja
Karaharapriya - Chakkani - Adi (RS at kantiki, no neraval though) - Thyagaraja

Had to leave as he started swarams at kantiki.

TK Murthy proved his worth at Chakkani. The sound of his mridangam itself is quite different from other mridangams. It really is a mrudu angam. The way he played for each and every sangathi was simply superb and embellished the song. Think the tani would have been quite enjoyable as well.

Usha Rajagoplan on violin did a fantastic job on Simmendra madhyamam & Karaharapriya. There was no dull moment in the concert in that 2 hours I was there.

TK Murthy had one of his sishyas also assist him on mridangam. Kanjira - I could not get the name from the organizers even :-(
