I entered late.VVS-Murari,Serthalai Anandakrishnan.were the accompaniments.
Lathangi-Patnam?
Brovavamma-Manji-SS
Vijayambike-Vijayanagari?-HMB-swarm@Sangeetharupini
Mamakuleswarwm-Thodi-GNB-RNS-Thani(very rare item by an artist other than from gnb/mlv school)
RTP-Mohanam-Srutibhedam in pallavi swara singing-Madhyamavathi,Hindolam,S.Saveri,S.Dhanyasi( I have to admit I could decipheronly Hindolam and S.Dhanyasi)-Arulcheyyavendum-Rasikapriya-Kotteswara iyer.Thillana-BMK.
technically excellent concert.
This is the first time i am hearing Srudibhedam other than during Raga elaboration.I can not find anything wanting ,but the attendance was very thin on a sunday morning during season!She deserves to be complimented for daringly pusuing her unique strength in Srudibhedam (the territory others fear to tread).

Smt. Gayatri Girish sang a pallavi couple of yrs ago at MA using exactly the same idea... I had trouble making out the transitions too... In fact they all sounded very nearly the same to me

A memorable concert... The todi kriti had hues of an MD kriti, in its vishrati and madhyamakala at the end. The alapana was done very well.
The sruti bhedam had me sitting on edge... its really tricky. But was handled with aplomb, i thought. Once your ears get tuned to the new basic note, its easier to identify it.. Only Suddha Saveri was a bit elusive to me!
But the violin sounded all Mohanam to me!!

Forgot to mention Manji-- the Brovavamma kriti was rendered so beautifully, I had tears in my eyes... Wish this is rendered more often in concerts
