A magnum opus Krithi - the Kambhoji one..very nice effort :) And the Melaragamalika was good as well.

hi, i didn't attend the academy concert but the review in rasikas.org forum is good, in fact all reviews in this season have been good for you so far, so keep it up, good work.

Will hear you in one of the days to come and give you my comments.

ask your personal concert photographer to click more shots so that you can post the best. in the latest 2 photos one of the accompanists is missing.

cheers

Yeah, the photos in the last two concerts were not the best.I didn't want to delay posting about these concerts, hence used the one that I got immediately.Will try and see if I can get better photos of the same concerts.

Looks amazing pieces. I always learn something new from your postings. I should admit I was not aware of Maha Vaidhyanatha Sivan's works and his life. I have been reading up on him for few hours. Now I want to listen to your rendition of melaragamalika :)

I am eagerly waiting for charsur to release the Dec season CD. I contacted them a while ago and they mentioned they will release MA concerts. I cannot wait to listen to your concert.
