It was a great concert. All the pieces were rendered with the traditional fervor and deep classicism. As is usual with mami, the piece was totally mesmerising. The manodarmam parts were absolutely absorbing. Sri Ramakrishnan on veenai support and Sri Balaji gelled well and played very well in provinding the right kind of accompaniment for the main artist. Sri Ramachandran was pretty loud.
