Again, this is a valuable program, but the support vocalists make it difficult to enjoy.

The final five tracks are Dikshitar's Panchalinga Kshetra Krithis. Note further that these are the kritis known as "Panchabhuta Linga" on the elements, and not the set known as "Panchalinga of Tiruvarur" as might have been assumed.

Note that this recording has now appeared on CD on two labels.
