It was a very good concert. All pieces were exceptionally well handled. Each kriti rendition was weighty and crisp. All the rAga AlApanais were beautifully handled touching all the essential phrases and adding all the essentialities to make it very appealing. The neraval and svarams were well done too. The pallavi, set in different rAgams for the pUrvAngam and uttarAngam, was rendered quite elaborately and with trikAlam and tisram. The accompanists did a wonderful job in accompanying the main artist. They gave fitting patterns during accompanying and during their solo versions.
