madhyamAvati short sketch

It was an amazing concert. Everything falling in place. The otherwise acoustically bad and noisy hall, was so amazingly set for this concert. The sound system being perfect, amazing accompanists, the vINai also cooperative, there was everything in place. the concert was superb.

the alapanais, neraval, svarams, the two tanams.. everything was just tooo good. the alapanai of ramapriya was very good. bhairavi was amazing. purvikalyani was emotive. suddha saveri was with the necessary vigour.

a concert to cherish for a long time.
