dEva dEva - mAyAmALavagauLa
mundu vEnukA - darbAr
cEta sri - dvijAvanti

tanayuni brova - bhairavi
panimathi mukhi bAlE - Ahiri - padam - swati tirunAL
mArubAri - khamAs
nI nAma rUpamulakU - saurAshtram

the concert was very beautiful. he elaborations of darbAr, dvijAvanti, hamIr kalyANi, pUrvi kalyANi and bhairavi were truely a class apart. but for gAnamUrthE and the tukkadAs all the pieces had some neraval and/or vibrant swarams. a very remembarable concert. vellore ramabadhran was literally playing all the kritis. it would be more apt to call it a vINai mrudangam duet than to call it as an accompaniment.
