madhyamAvati short sketch

This was another very inspiring concert by Smt. Kalpakam Swaminathan. The song selection was very off beat. The kriti renditions were amazing and the manOdarmam was very inspiring. Each piece was rendered with its essental vigour and one couldnt help being amazed and inspiried by the divine music. Smt. Vijayalakshmi played the kIravANi AlApanai and was very supportive of her guru. The Percussion dept was exceptionally handled by Sri Ananthakrishnan and Sri Ramachandran.
