It was a very fulfilling concert. The AlApanai of maNirangu was very moving. Those of sAvEri, tODi and kalyANi were done in a very chaste fashion. They were very enjoyable. All kritis were rendered beautifully with necessary gait. The neraval and svarams were very well rendered. The number of one-Avartana svarams that Smt Rangarajan sang were mind blowing. I thoroughly enjoyed the concert. The accompanists were very good and played appropriately for the occasion, following like a faithful shadow wherever necessary at the same time, giving fitting replies as and when it be required.

It was very enjoyable concert.
