More about the music:

In this concert, the Malladi brothers bring an extraordinary choice of ragas. They perform a Saint Thyagaraja kriti - ‘Sangeetha Gyanamu,’ a gem of a composition in which Thyagaraja conveys that mere knowledge of music is not enough; It is one’s devotion to music that makes it the most direct form of worship to the God Almighty.

The brothers give it a spectacular spin which is hugely appreciated by the audiences. The alapana is wonderfully coordinated and the song is elaborated by sharp and crisp swarakalpanas – rapid notes that gracefully paint the devotional emotion of this raga. The musicians supporting the duo comprise of some of the most acclaimed performers from the Carnatic repertoire.

Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi on the violin, Trichy Sankaran on the mridangam and Giridhar Udupa on the ghatam bring their individual flavours making this a delightful riot of emotions. Trichy Sankaran, the veteren mridangam player, plays a resounding flourish at the onset of this song, setting it on a grand path.
