Sound quality: fair

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.

To purchasing information for this disc.
