madhyamAvati short sketch

The second concert of the series was wonderful. The choice of kritis was pretty refreshing with some of the pieces being pretty rare in concert stage these days. All the raga AlApanais were done with a lot of classical phrases inter-weaved into them. The main AlApanai of hEmavati was very good and it had a short grahabEdam to rEvagupti as well. The neraval svarams were all measured and in good matching to the piece being presented. The accompanists were wonderful and played in perfect match with the main artist.

There was feeling of leisure and saukyam all thro' the concert and the artist played well a good team.
