A very classical concert. Very well planned concert.

All the AlApanais were done in a very scholarly and aesthetic fashion. Not an extra frill. The svarams were all in perfect alignment with the rAga bhavam. The concert was exceptionally handled by Smt Rama Ravi.

Smt Meera failed to reach the expectations on many occasions.

Sri Kumar was good. His playing was, as usual, very accomodative. Sri Sowrirajan was nice also.
