It was different experience for me since Sri Santhanagopalan chose a racy style for this concert. All the songs were rendered at a brisk pace and song selection was such that it suited this style. All the alapanas were great, even though I would have loved a slightly longer version of todi. The nereval and swaras in todi had a lot TNS style passages and were quite enjoyable. Sri. S D Sridhar on violin was sweetness personified. Sri Murugaboopathy and Purshotaman shared a brilliant tani and their playing during the songs was apt.

This concert was a part of the Sri Thyagaraja Aradhana series by Naganallur Sri Thygararaja Sangita Samajam. I have posted the details of others concerts in Music & Festivals forum.

Thanks Venkat. I presume SAdguru Swamiki is composed on Thyagaraja (who was also the composer's Guru)

yes. sadguru svAmiki is a composition on Thyagaraja Swami. Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar comes in the sishya parampara of the saint, however i think he is not a direct disciple of Thyagaraja.

NSG announced it is a composition on Sri Thyagaraja , the parama guru of Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar. Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar was a disciple of Patnam Subramanya Iyer.

Tyagaraja -> Manambuchavadi Venkatasubbayyar -> Patnam Subramania Iyer -> Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar

Ariyakudi Ramanuja Iyengar has studied from Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar.

To the best of my knowledge poochi and patnam were peers,it is more like

Tyagaraja -> Manambuchavadi Venkatasubbayyar -> Patnam Subramania Iyer
Tyagaraja -> Manambuchavadi Venkatasubbayyar -> Poochi Srinivasa Iyengar

Rajestnat -

Patnam and Maha Vaidyanatha Iyer were peers, not Poochi. It is said that every Avani Avittam [thread changing ceremony day] Patnam would head over to Maha's house seek his blessing and Maha saying that such a senior vidwan should not prostrate before him, only for Patnam to reply "I want Iyerval's blessing".

Yes, Ramanathapuram Srinivasa Iyengar is a sishya of Patnam subramanya iyer. Mahavaidhyanatha iyer and patnam subramanya iyer are contemporaries
