When one goes to attend concerts of senior vidwans and vidhushis, one can always expect some not-so-popular-yet-very-beautiful pieces of the trinity and some googly alapanais and all that. they dont let u down on those expectations usually. From the varnam to the tukkada, they maintain the high quality of music and dont compromise on anything. this evening's recital was a perfect example of that.

Smt Varadachari's neraval and svarams at 'tamasAdi guNa rahituDu dharmAtmuDu sarvasamuDu' were very nice. Her elaboration of darbAr was very beautiful and made one expect a rare piece. Smt. Rajagopalan on the fiddle gave a good reply. The kriti was rendered with quite a few sangatis and was a grand one. It was nice of Smt. Varadachari to leave the kriti without neraval and svarams. It left a better impact. The aTANA kriti was real good also.

The elaboration of vAcaspati was done in a scholarly fashion. The kriti was rendered with a quick round of neraval and svarams at 'alanADu saumitri pAda sEvA'. The main bhairavi AlApanai was very elaborate and enjoyable. Smt. Rajagopalan also played a nice AlApanai. The piece was rendered with a fitting round of neraval and svarams at 'nIla nIrada sarIra dhIradhara'.

Smt. Varadachari gave a very pleasing concert and made an impact on the rasikas. Smt. Rajagopalan gave fitting replies to all the main artist. Sri Satish Kumar was to the occasion all thro. His playing for each kriti was so accomodative and gelling to the piece that was rendered. His tani was very good also. Sri Sivaramakrishnan was good.
