Each piece was rendered in a classical way. All the AlApanais were quite moving. The concert started off with a weighty rendition of the kAnaDA varNam. Even the popularly-beaten-to-death vAtApi gaNapatim was rendered with a different style of classicism. The svarams in supradIpam and Anandabhairavi were beautiful. Each AlApanai which followed was amazingly rendered. The bhairavi svarajathi was moving. The suruTTi kriti, the version was very different and a lot more bhava laden than the popular versions.

It was overall a very very inspiring and moving concert.

Hi,
Sorry for reaching you through comment section. Reading through your blog I see that you are an ardent carnatic music fan. I'm very curious and passionate about carnatic music and would like to learn Mirdangam. Can you suggest some tutor(s) from Anna Nagar West, if possible? You can reply via the comment section itself.
Thanks in advance,
Shiva
