madhyamAvati short sketch

It was a very good concert. Smt. Sudharani was her usual creative self. Beginning with the varNam in 4 kAlams, with each phrase and each song she was getting more and more creative and yet well within the rAga bhAvam. Her kriti renditions were very good. The AlApanai, neraval and svarams were all very nice. Her mel kAla svarams and svarams in multi naDai were all very good. The korappu svarams in nirOshTA were very interesting. (she mentioned the rAgam is also called putrikA) The AlApanai in kharaharapriyA was very elabortate and had some graha bedam also. The AlApanai of pUrvikalyANi was short and sweet, while the tAnam was exceptionally outstanding. The accompanists did a great job in perfectly blending with the main artist. Kum. Sruthiravali, daughter of Smt. Sudharani lended vocal support and sang parts of chArukEsi AlApanai and svarams in nirOshTA.
