madhyamAvati short sketch

It was a beautiful morning concert. The stage was set. The recital was a beautiful presentation of some choicest dEvi kritis. The kritis were presented with clear sangatis and absolute bhavam. The AlApanais of Anandabhairavi, kalyANi, pUrvikalyANi were all very good and made it a memorable concert. As it was a one-and-a-quarter hour program, Smt Swaminathan chose to delibrately cut-short on manOdarmam and present more compositions on dEvi, as it would suit the occasion of navarathri. It was a very fulfilling presentation with very good accompanists.
