That was an amazing concert. Sri Govinda Rao was just out of the world. All those present had an experience of a life time. It was just amazing. The renditions of each of the pieces and the manOdarmam were just too good. The svarams in mAyAmALavagauLa were amazing. The pushpalatikA nerval and svarams were beautiful. The sAvEri AlApanai and swarams were awesome. The svarams in dEvAmrutavarshiNi and sAmA were both fitting and gelled well. The violinst, Smt. Charulatha, was good and gave appropriate replies to the veteran. Sri Murthy was playing very much in tandem with the music and it was a treat to watch these two veterans perform together. Sri Sivaraman also ably assisted in adding effect to the concert.
