Amazing concert. The neraval and svarams in the pallavi line of the srIranjani kriti were good. The AlApanais of hamIrkalyANi and malayamArutam were crisp and very nicely done. The svarams in hamIrkalyANi with a korappU to both the madhyamams was just amazing. Neraval at 'vara mattaLa' for the malayamArutam kriti was amazing also. The slOkam in dEvagAndhAri was rendered soulfully. The main tODi AlApanai was very elaborate and pleasing. The neraval and svarams at 'vara mantramanyula kupadEshincatE' were done very well with a nice korappu to end the affair. The slOkam in naLinakAnti and the shAradA bhujangam were nice, with the tarangam to follow. The rAgamalika viruttam and the sindhubhairavi piece in madhyama sruti were moving. The bhairavi patriotic number and the tiruppugazh were nicely rendered also.

Sri Varadarajan was very good in all his replies to the main artists. His playing for the pieces was very nice. Sri Manoj Siva played with good anticipation. His tani was nice also
