Yesterday, April 6th at the Middletown, Lord Sri Satyanarayana temple, we got to listen to a marvelous performance by none other than the great
Madurai T.N.Seshagopalan
Accompanying him were – Jai Shankar Balan (Violin) – Suresh Ramachandran (Mrdangam).
The concert started around 4:30 and would have gone on way past 8PM had it not been for the prompts and signals from the Sponsors.
I am not sure if the song list has been posted already, if not, I'll do that as soon as I get some free time.

The Ragamallika must have been for the lines " Nava Rasa Ballikai....." He sings it in all the ragams depicting the nava rasas. Heard him sing the same at Sruthi Laya Kendra, Madras during the 2006 season ........wonderful indeed.

A musician who has taken over me completely. I would only have to listen to any song to imagine how it would sound coming from him.
