sarasijAkshi - varNam - nAyaki
baktabikshu - sankarAbaraNam (S)
OrajUpu chUsEdi - kannaDa gauLa
ambA nIlAyadAkshi - nIlAmbari (r,s)
samajavaradA - suddha sAvEri
ETi janmamidi hA - varALi (RNST)
nArAyaNahari - yamunakalyANi

the rare varNam in nAyaki was a delight to start with. sri. krishna's rendition of one tALa svaras for sankarAbaraNam were good. His elaborate slow tempoed nIlAmbari essentially highlighting key sancArams including the nishAdam also were vintage stuff to hear. the vilamba kAla svarams also were in similar lines. It was quite unarguably the best piece of the concert. The main varALi was rendered neatly with good aesthetics.

sri. rAmAnujAchAryulu was good all thro' the concert and kept close to krishna always. sri. rAjArao provided good support all thro' the concert and his tani was also good. sri. shankar on the ghatam also was good.
