It was a wonderful concert from the beginning. All pieces seemed to have been carefully chosen and presented neatly. I personally enjoyed the khamAs very well. The Alapanai was totally moving and the kala pramaNam in which the kriti was presented was indeed really really amazing. The swarams were matching too. Earlier the kAmavardhini was very nice. The main tODi was given its due weight and rendered amazingly. Mridangam accompaniment was perfect and totally in tune with the songs that were rendered. The tani was great as well.
