It was a good concert by a really nice team. The Bhairavi Krithi was rendered well with a quick round of Swarams. Reethigowlai was leisurely sung with the lilting Chittai Swarams. The main Mohanam was sung in detail for about 12 minutes. The violinist's version was really good. The Thani led by the veteran Shri Mani was very nice. It was a bit on the shorter side. One expected a Pallavi but TMK chose to sing a Virutham and other smaller pieces. The Sahana and Kapi were particularly good in the Virutham.

Overall, a good concert that was well attended.

mOhanam as a main by TMK should certainly be a rare number

[Lakshman]

mArubAri is by Pattabhiramaiah.
sancaradadhara is a Jayadeva composition.
mAdhava mAmava is by Narayana Tirtha.
I presume the tillAnA is by Poochi Iyengar.

Sathej- I did not come across this concert publised in paper. How did you come to know ? or I missed it ? I could have attended this...

[Sathej]

If I am right, it was advertised in The Hindu.

TMK has been singing Mohanam quite frequently...I too was surprised the first time I heard it - in early 2007...after that I've heard him sing it a couple of times...
