The concert started with a good rendition of the tODi varnam and what followed left quite a few in audience guessing what it was. For the gauDamalahar was elaborated very well carefully avoiding influence of sAmA, unfortunately the violinst lacked this perfection. The neraval and svarams at 'hasita vadanE Apta hrudayE' were very good. The janaranjani AlApanai was dont with a lot of innovation and the kAlapramANam in which she rendered it in a slow tempo was very good.
The next was the dIkshitar kriti. The AlApanai, neraval and svarams were done true dIkshitar style carefully not involving p d p s prayogams and carefully showing the quintessential m d n prayOgam of gamakakriyA time and again. It was nicely rendered with neraval and svarams at 'kAsI pura vAsinIm kAmita pala dAyinIm'. The svara korappu in 4 kalams was very good.
The main kAmbhOji AlApanai was very very elaborate and done with a lot of chaste beauty. The ragam was well explored in all its glory. The kriti with neraval svarams at 'bUlOka vaikuNTam idiyani' was nice with a lot of vintage sancarams an svara patterns. The long kOrvai was quite different from the regular one.
The Violinst was good in responding to the main artist and keeping upto all that she did during the concert, but for the initial slip with gauDa malahari. However his bowing was a bit shrieky at places. The mrudangist and ghatam artist did a good job in both accompanying and during the tani.
PS: from this post i wish to add pictures of the concert if available.

Hey, is there some website or book, from which, I can just get a flavor of carnatic music, so that I can appreciate the songs that I hear the next time? I mean, I have listened to many songs not realizing the significance of them. I was going through them like I would have in the case of a light music.
I know its difficult to get some idea through reading,but, would like to knw.
