This production features a colorful booklet, flowery language in the liner notes, and such idiosyncracies as Ragunathan instead of Raghunathan, calling the moorsing the guimbarde, and not naming most ragas or composers. It is also stated that Embar Kannan is the musical director.

The progression of the program is unusual.
