Great concert. Each AlApanai was totally moving. The kritis were rendered with a lot of bhavam. The neraval svarams were all good. The intelligent and beautiful usage of both the madhyamams during the hamIrkalyANi deserves a special mention. Also, the svarams in mukhAri were outstanding. The main shankarAbaraNam was awesome. Each piece was outstanding and over all it felt great. The accompanists were good and played in tandem with the main artist.
