Real nice concert it was. All the three veterans were free flowing with ideas and what more could u ask, when there was absolute tandem in the team.

The rItigauLa piece and the svarams were good. The vasantA AlApanai was nice. The neraval and svarams at 'paramEsha vasIshTa parAsara nArada saunaka sukha' were enjoyable. The AlApanai of yadukulakAmbhOji was very moving. The kriti was also rendered in a equally moving fashion. The hamsanAdam piece was played well, with the vivAdi dhaivatam being shown. The main suruTTi was nice, with the AlApanai was rendered very well. The kriti and svarams were good.

Sri Sundareswaran was good thro' the concert. His AlApanais and following of kritis were all very moving. His replies for neraval and svarams were all good as well.

Sri Sivaraman was his usual best. His playing was just the way, it should be. He was ably supported by Sri Srisundarkumar
