The concert was well planned and showed the power that is stored in some of the dasar padagalu. It was a very commendable effort in bringing out some weightly compositions of the composer.

The vocalist also took time to give a general meaning of each of the kritis he presented, thus taking along even audience who were lost because of the absence of well known kritis.

The Arabhi kriti was nice. The vasantA alapanai was presented well and the kriti with neraval and svarams at "patitapAvane nI gatiyendu nambide" was rendered with a lot of nice phrases put in.

The popular aTANA kriti in a rather slow pace led to a very leisurely elaboration of pUrvikalyANi. It was quite elaborate and one felt he could have done a better job if only he was a bit faster. The feeling however was completely prooven wrong when the kriti was rendered. Such a moving kriti with a lot of bhavam that a faster alapanai would have just reduced the impact.

The short rItigauLa alapanai and a nice rendition of the kriti followed by a good mohanam led to the main bhairavi alapanai. Though a bit shaky at the foundations, the alapanai was developed quite nicely. The kriti was rendered with neraval and svarams at "mangaLAtmaka mOhanakAya ranga". The tukkadas were well rendered also.

Sherthalai Sivakumar was his usual self. He was good.

Arjun Ganesh was just playing the kritis on the mrudangam. His accompaniment was very good and he did follow the artist like his shadow. He showed good anticipation and was very good in the tani also.
