suruTTi short sketch

A very nice concert. The AlApanais of bilahari and naLinakAnti by Sri Jeyaraj were very innovative and had quite a few refreshing phrases and those of Anandabhairavi and pUrvikalyANi by Smt. Jaysri were all very traditional and had some vintage phrases. The kritis were all rendered very well. The neraval and svarams were all done in a nice fashion. The duo shared a great rapport and played complimenting each other. The accompanists played with a lot of anticipation, embellishing the compositions and the tani was good.
