It was a very short presentation. Fighting ill health and other issues the nonagenarian vidhushi presented a very spirited concert. The songs were all presented well. She was assisted by 2 more of her disciples on support vocals and tALam. The short AlApanai preceeding all the pieces and the short tAnam that was played in madhyamAvati were all very good and nice. The accompanists were ok.
