Smt Sudharani, as usual, was very refreshing in all her alapanais and the pallavi, well, i dint expect something simpler from her.

Smt Sudharani began the concert with a rendition of the sArangA varNam in a different fashion. she showed the three speeds in each avarthanam, by increasing the speed after each anga of the tALam. The AlApanais of AndhOLikA, tODi and kalyANi were all having nice refreshing phrases. The neraval was done as 'tambura jEkoni guNamula jeluvonda bADacu' for the tODi piece. The svarams and korappu in multiple naDais, which she is usually very conversant with, were all done very well. There was graha bedam from kalyANi to mOhanam in both the AlApanai and tAnam. She did seem to have some problems with throat at the higher octave, but that dint stop anything in her music.

a concert to remember for a long time.

rAga sudhA rasa is in AndhOLika indeed. writing as a tODi is a typo.

nAda sudhA rasa is in Arabhi

raghul, the fiddle vidwan did good justice to playing the ragams and did play for the pallavi well. the mridangist was very good and played nicely for all kritis...

an error on my part to not include them in the initial write-up.
