Smt Varadachari gave a very classical concert with quite a few not-so-often heard pieces. All her AlApanais were very extensive and she showed her capablities in delivering to the fullest in both kalpitam and manOdarmam sections. The concert began with a beautiful rendition of the gauLipantu kriti. The srIranjani piece which followed was rendered well with a quick round of neraval and svarams at 'pAdamulE gati rAmA nI'

The first AlApanai of the evening was a grand aTANA. The AlApanai was very well done. Considering the grandeur of the AlApanai, i was expecting 'E pApamu' and it was so. The kriti was rendered with all the intricate sangatis in a very moving fashion. The kalyANi AlApanai was very beautiful. The kriti, a rare one, which i havent heard (off) before, was rendered nicely with neraval and svarams at 'pAvanamaku nI pAda bhajanamu sEyuDakai'. The dEvagAndhAri piece was rendered with its usual vigour.

The main madhyamAvati AlApanai was done very nicely. The rAgam was elaborated showing all the essentialities of the rAgam. The kriti was rendered beautifully with elaborate neraval and svarams at 'bhAgavada priya tyAgarAjanuta'. The husEni piece was nicely rendered with multiple caraNams.

Dr Hemalatha on the violin played in tandem with the main artist. Her replies were good she provided good support. Sri Balashankar played with good anticipation and was good thro' the concert. He was ably assised by Sri Rajarajan. The tani, the two of them shared, was good with a elaborate round of tisram.
