It was nice concert with a beautiful selection of kriti and neat execution. The svarams for hamsadvani were crisp. The AlApanai for varALi was done extensively. The kriti with neraval and svarams was well rendered. The karnATaka kApi AlApanai was a nice surprise as well. It was done in a scholarly fashion. The main kAmbhOji AlApanai was done well, with many phrases reminding of MLV's renditions. The kriti was rendered with nice round of neraval and svarams. Had to leave during the nIlAmbari.
Accompanists were good and made it a good concert.
