The concert began with a unorthodox short sketch of sAvEri and the varNam was rendered well. The nATTai short sketch was nice. The kriti was played in the old style with all the dhaivata laden sangatis intact. The svarams at the pallavi and the korappu were good. The rasALi kriti was rendered with a nice set of svarams.
Sri Venkataraman started AbhOgi in an unambigious fashion, completely ruling out srIranjani or any other allied rAgams. The AlApanai was done very beautifully. The kriti was rendered well with a quick round of svarams. The pUrvikalyANi AlApanai was good. The kriti was rendered neatly with neraval at 'madurA puri nilayE maNivalayE' and a quick set of svarams. The quick janaranjani piece was good also.
The main course, bhairavi AlApanai was awesome. The 15 minutes of AlApanai and a nice tAnam made a good prelude to the kriti, which was rendered in a leisurely fashion. The neraval and svarams at 'vatsamu veNTa dhEnuvu canunO' were done very well. The korappu svarams and the last kOrvai were beautiful.
The Ahiri padam was rendered beautifully. The short sketch of dvijAvanti and the padam were good as well. 'tIrAda viLaiyATTu piLLai' was rendered in kaNDa cApu, and the slow rendition did give a better effect than the usual catusra Ekam version. The bEhAg jAvaLi was good.
Sri Venkataraman gave a nice concert. All AlApanais were very inspiring and the neraval and svarams were very good also. Sri Swaminathan on the mrudangam, played with a lot of anticipation. He played aptly for the sangatis. One could distinctly hear the use of thoppi and the right palm while he was playing thro' the concert, and especially during the tani. He was ably supported by Sri Sivaramakrishan on the ghatam, who played well. The tani they shared was nice also.

Dear Bharaathwaj, Im from Melbourne Australia. Please find an essay which is very much about the traditional Indian way of learning to be an artist of any kind.
