It was a good concert. The violinsts, though from different schools, shared a good rapport and presented a good concert together. The pieces were rendered well and the AlApanais and svarams were all good also. They both used some nice phrases, from rare compositions in developing the ragams and during the neraval svarams also. The accompanists played very well and accompanied the piece properly.

I enjoyed the concert.
