The opening short kAnaDa AlApanai was structured to indicate a kriti and not a varNam, the kriti was well rendered and so where neraval and svaras.

kannaDA was very well handled by the team. The mukhAri AlApanai was definitely one amongst the best. The kriti was rendered well and so was the manodharmam, filled with devotion.

The hamsanandhi AlApanai made quite some faces see eachother for one does not like hamasAnandi in the middle of concert and the is usually expected only the end of the concert. Sanjay did a good job with the alapanai and svarams.

The main shankarAbaraNam alapanai started off in a untraditional way and was built very well to suite the kriti. The neraval and svarams were well structured and the svarams especially had a lot of kanakku.

The post main session had a kharaharapriyA slOkam on ramA followed by jAnaki patE in the same rAgam. follwing to this was a good bEhAg AlApanai and the kriti was good also. The end of the day was a viruttam followed by nI ninaindAl in darbArikAnaDA.

Sri Varadarajan on the violin was good in most parts. Sri Ramadoss was good also...

Very good concert...
