The concert started off with a nice rendition of the bEgaDa kriti with a quick set of svarams. The srIranjani AlApanai was done well. The kriti was rendered beautifully with a nice round of svarams.

The rare dIkshitar kriti was rendered soulfully to be followed by the nItimati piece. The main sAvEri AlApanai was done in a very elaborate fashion showing the rAgam very well. The kriti was rendered well, in a rather hurried fashion, probably for want of time, with an ultra short neraval at 'bAma kAsa vadu...' and a quick set of svarams and a short tani.

Sri Prasanna sang the post tani pieces as he was asked to sing them by the organisers. His music is far more matured and elegant. He is one musician who is going to make a name for himself in a big way in this field and that too in the near future.

Sri Ambika Prasad and Sri Subramanian were good in their jobs.
