It was a good concert. The kriti selection and renditions were good. The sub-main hindOLam was very well elaborated and presented in a chaste fashion. The main kalyANi AlApanai was good in parts.

The violinst was good in parts. The mridangist was excellent and played perfectly for the songs and the svarams.

I had to leave during the main kriti.
