kEdAram piece and the svarams were amazing, to say the least.

harikAmbhOji was started unambigously, but later had some kEdAram, kAmbhOji and khamAs influence, in some phrases. The violinst also suffered similar difficulties. This happens during AlApanai, neraval and svarams.

The tODi was not completely to its full capacity. Given the kriti taken, the AlApanai, neraval and svarams did full justice.

The hamIrkalyANi started as though it was kalyANi. It only after about 5-6 phrases, this ambiguity was cleared. The AlApanai and svarams were very good.

The Violinst provided very good suppot.

The mrudangist and ghatam artist were very vibrant and kept upto the beat, without even the slightest mistake. The tani was quite a enjoyable affair.
