The concert started about half an hour late, thanks to traffic, Sri Santanagopalan couldnt reach the venue on time.
The concert began with a short slOkam and the pUrvikalyANi kriti was rendered nicely with a round of neraval and svarams at 'paramAtmuDu jIvAtmuDu padinAlugu lOkamulu' which were rendered well also. The cittaranjani kriti was rendered nicely with a quick round of svarams.
The khamAs kriti was rendered very movingly with neraval and svarams at ' cAru nEtra shrI kaLAtra shrI ramya gAtra'. The AbhOgi kriti was rendered with the necessary vigour.
The rAga AlApanai of the evening was dEvagAndhAri. Sri Santanagopalan made it an elaborate affair and weaved sancarams one after another and gave a very detailed elaboration of the rAgam. The kriti was rendered with a lot of bhavam. One was expecting this to be the main piece of the evening. There was a quick round of neraval at 'nIrajAkSikai nIradhi dATina nI kIrtini vinnAnurA' which was followed by an elaborate series of svarams. This was followed with the vIra vasantam piece.
The main AlApanai of the evening was kIravANi. It began with a punch and was elaborated well, with quite a few not-so-normally heard sancarams. The quick rendition of the kriti was followed by ultrashort neraval at 'bAguga shrI raghu rAmuni padamula' and a round of svarams to follow. All the post tani pieces were good.
Sri Santanagopalan presented a very classical concert which lasted for about 2.5 hours. All his AlApanais were very good. The kritis were rendered well and the neraval and svarams were all good. The kaNakku svarams were sung making nice patterns and thus making them all the more enjoyable. Though his voice wasnt cooperating at some places, Sri Santanagopalan did present a very enjoyable concert.
Sri Srinivasa Rao was good in all depts. His replies to the main artist in all the manodarmam aspects and the following of kritis were all good.
Sri Balaji played with good anticipation for the kritis and sangatis. His playing for the fast and slow pieces were appropriate and added to the renditions. Sri Gopalakrishnan was good thro' the concert. The tani they shared was nice also.

ur passion for music is awesome.

Your detailing of various concerts is good. We are enjoying the fruits of your effort. Just read ur write up on Neyveli. Kanchana, Mumbai
Your analysis of ragaas and sahitayas are reall great(e.g). The way you made the relationship between varali and Pantuvarali ; the explanation for the relation betwseen Pallavapapda mrudutarasya in Vallabha nayaka and the meaning of pallavi is commendable.
