The concert was a very well structured one. The main artists did justice to all the pieces she took. Though there was an obvious hurry in not being elaborate in some places for the race against time, the concert did leave an impact. The AlApanais of kAmbhOji, madhyamAvati and bhairavi were very well handled. The tanam was good also.

The svarams were not very elaborate, still they were very good. A very good song list which was selected and to fit all of it inside a one-and-half hour slot with the announcements and introductions thrown in, it was quite amazing. Though very precise, there was no compromise for any of the items during the concert.

The Accompanists were good also. They gave full fledged support to the main artist. A very fulfilling concert.
