A truly amazing concert. I enjoyed thro' the concert. Each piece was rendered very beautifully. All the svarams were rendered beautifully. All the AlApanais were done quite elaborately and it was pretty moving. The neraval were all measured. Each and every phrase had the raga bhavam intact. Though she had a some problems in reaching the upper register at times, it was no way hindering the music she was delivering. Full throated singing, sticking to tradition and giving classical music of the highest order, Smt Seethalaksmi, every rasika sit up and enjoy thoroughly.

The semmangudi school vocalist from Trivandrum stuck her school's first principles and gave a very very nice concert. The accompanists were good also.
