It was a very moving concert. Each piece was rendered with a great amount of precision of sAhityam and totally bhAva-laden. I personally find it tough to choose which was the best. The AlApanais of hamIrkalyANi and husEni and shankarAbaraNam were all very beautiful. The Ahiri navAvarNam took one to ultimate levels of ecstasy. The accompanists were gelling well and on the whole the team made it an unforgettable concert.
