The AlApanais and svarams were are nicely done. There were even some kaNakku svarams in the kalyANi. It was a nice experience to hear a dvijAvanti AlApanai after a long time. The kriti renditions were good and the usual aura he creates were all present at the concert. The high amplification for the supporting singers, made the voice of the main artist, inaudible at many places. The accompanists were good and played a supportive role.
