The concert was too good to say the least. There was classism stored in all parts of the concert. I reached late, during the Anandabhairavi kriti. It was well rendered with nicely structured refreshing svarams.

The madhyamAvati AlApanai was good with quite a few very refreshing phrases. The kriti was a rare treat. The neraval was done very well at 'nIke daya puTTi'. The nATTaikuranji kriti was rendered with no hurry and it was very moving to listen to the vilamba kala rendtion. The sAvEri kriti was good also.

The sankarAbaraNam AlApanai was very refreshing with very many unheard phrases and it was very enjoyable. The slOkam was nicely structed and the kriti, 'sankarAcAryam' was rendered. It was a very good rendition with the neraval and svarams at 'parama gyAna latAlavAlam'.

The slOkam in Ahiri and the kriti which followed were rendered with a lot of bhavam. The nArAyaNIyam verses of the 'rukmaNi kalyANam' tuned by R K Shriram Kumar were rendered well and it was very good. The tiruppAvai was well rendered as well. The viruttam in mAnji and 'varugalAmO' were good as well.

The violinst, was good in all parts while both accompanying and in his solo parts. The mridangist was good in accompanying and during the tani, which was very good.

Overall a very good and enjoyable concert.
