It was a wonderful concert.

The AlApanais of danyAsi and shankarAbaraNam were both exceptional and touching. The kritis were all rendered with utmost ease and a lot of bhavam. The swarams were all measured and played in tune with the kriti that was being played. The tAnam in shankarAbaraNam was much enjoyable too.

The accompanists were good.

Right in the middle of hot summer, the lean season for the music world, this concert was a welcome change.
