It was concert of total bliss. It took everybody to a trans state. From the word go, each piece was so effortlessly rendered and the audience were totally spell bound. The precision in gamakkams and each vintage phrase that came from Smt. Alamelu Mani was scintillating to say the least. One is short of superlatives and is still high on the music one got to hear this evening. i would run short of words describing each piece and would prefer saying "one had to listen and be present physically, to be able to understand the music"

It was a lesson on what we have been missing consistently over years and what music should be.

The accompanists were always there to add to the concert effect and they perfectly added on the main artist.
