Composition brOcEvArevaru rA by Mysore Vasudevacharya (28 May 1865 – 17 May 1961)

An audience member's recollection:

Very special concert for the following (among other) reasons:

(i) KVN does not allow distractions such as change of room at the last minute, a spartan stage (a blanket thrown on the floor at the last minute), problems with audio set up in the early part of the concert etc. to affect his concentration
(ii) Without saying anything at all and purely through the language of music, KVN makes a one to one connection with every one in the small but attentive audience; audience gets to take home a moving experience etched forever in their memory - hope the fans listening to the recording can experience it also
(iii) Extra-ordinarily beautiful Khamas as the crown jewel in a uniformly A+ performance
(iv) Outstanding support by Nagai Murali and Vellore Ramabhadran demonstrating how to support the main artist to construct/execute a performance without interfering or upstaging.

A very special listening experience and lots of lessons for students of music.
