Original recording: unknown; CD release: 2000

Other accompanists are not named. DKJ evidently takes part in this recital as a support vocalist, sometimes singing entire phrases. There is also a moorsing player clearly audible at times.

If the notes to the recording are to be believed, this is the first concert in which Palghat Mani Iyer accompanied DKP, a landmark event for female vocalists in general.

The performance does feature percussion at times, especially at the expense of the violinist (unnamed).
