This follows dance items suggested by Tanjavore quartret strictly and that is the oly good thing I can say about this. It is not what I expected. A good dancer is graceful, has no wasted movements. Dancer in the dvd lacks both. Also sometimes music and the adavus are mismatched, especially in faster kalas. Of mediocre standard.

I enjoyed the arangetram songs on this cd. I am not a dancer, however, I use various types of music for inspiration. I enjoy attending live bharatanatayam dance dramas, so having this in my collection of music is a plus. I do agree that the audio is of a good quality as opposed to other audio tracks I've listened to before, where the sound is not as good.

Here is an excellent collection of Bharatanatyam songs for students who are preparing for an Arangetram or are learning the dance from a teacher. Generally students in either of the aforementioned categories use poor audio compilations of the songs to prepare for their momentous day ! This CD can be used for Arangetram in lieu of a live band and it is moderately priced. Audio recording is very good.
The artists rendition of songs was authentic as well as modern. I found myself humming the tunes after a few days of listening to these songs.

I got the mp3 of Pushpanjali Ragam :Natti Talam: Adi (Dances of India - Bharathnatyam Arangetram songs)
The singing is not great ! At least I wouldn't want to perform on that song!
I don't know about the other song in the CD
