the concert was good.

The varNam was rendered outstandingly. I thoroughly enjoyed his rendition. The pantuvarALi affair was his usual stuff and the mALavi was quite quick, both being good.

I was totally moved by the mukhAri. The grandeur with which he rendered the AlApanai, neraval and svarams, i was sureshot expecting it to be the main and a pallavi to follow.

Taking up 'O rangasAyI' was a total dissappointment for me in that regard. The kAmbhOji AlAapanai was however, handled very well. It was very good.

I had to leave during the main kriti.

sad that i missed the rAgamAlikA and sahAnA padam..

Akkarai Subhalakshmi was good overall. J Vaidhyanathan and BS Purushottaman were good as well.
