It was a good concert. This disciple of Smt. R Vedavalli, presented a good and enjoyable concert. All kritis were presented in a crisp fashion with bhavam. The renditions were apt. The manodarmam parts were all measured and in tune with the kriti that was being presented. The accompanists were good as well.
