It was a good concert. The AlApanais of vardhani and ravikriyA were both done well. The kharaharapriyA and hamsAnandi were both presented excellently. There was a good mix of rare and known pieces in the concert. The pallavi was rendered with exceptional control and there were svarAksharams all over. Smt. Sudharani also explained that during the grahabEdam from hamsAnandi to hindOLam omiting the shadjam of hamsAnandi, except for the shift of shadjam to the hamsAnandi rishbam, all the other notes retain their frequency and name as such for the new scale to get the new rAgam.

The accomapanists were wonderful. A good concert
