I leave the detailed review of the show to all greats in mayyam/tfm page. Mine is just a brief description

The compere of the show was Prakash Raj

The programme started with a composition of 3 songs from the music troupe from Hungary. It was ok but no so great. After they finished, IR came on stage and he sat and sang janani

Raaja sir played the piano for nee partha parvai ku nandri

Prakashraj asked him what is symphony and raaja sir sang the Ithayamae poguthey song with the orchestra. This song was inspired by Shuberts(spelling may be wrong) symphony score.

K J Yesudas- I guess age is picking on him. Amma enru azhaikatha - he missed verses... Ammavai vangathu ...that line was sung in a different tune by him

His sooper SODAPAL was when he took off on the 2nd charnam in the poove sempoove song even before the interlude was over. IR stopped him and corrected it and K J Yesudas sang it wrong again...finally after the whole he repeated the 2nd charanam and got it correct

Yesudas sir, rehearsals are a must.

SPB : True master class in all songs

Balamurali KRishna: Chinna Kannan - What a rendering - voice still intact....

Chithra; I can understand her mood after she lost her only child...very very low profile and she sang well.

Hariharan: I AM BANGING MY HEAD ON THE WALL.......Hell with him...he cannot sing properly on stage concert..first he missed the beat in the nee partha parvaiku oru nandri song...

Surmukhi sang very well and it was a good platform for them
