A Concert by Hyderabad Brothers

I had an opportunity to see Hyderabad Brothers in concert the other day. The brothers, especially Sri D. Seshachary showed great control and dexterity while bringing out qualities of some wonderful compositions.

This is a sampling of what I got to hear:
Dinamani vamsa tilaka - Harikambhoji.
Mari vere - Shanmukhapriya.
Dandamu pettenura - Balahamsa. (Balamurali did a nice rendering of this elsewhere).
Maheswari kaavuma uma maa maathangi - Revathi. This piece was improvised with a shift to Sahana and then back to Revathi. Very impressive.
Valapu daasa nera ne.
Naan oru vilaiyaattu bommaya jagannaayaki - Navarasa KaanaDa.
Naaraayana ninna naa manasmaraney - Suddha Dhanyasi

It was a great evening where I felt like I was immersed in the play of the notes.
