It was a fantastic concert right from the start. The kritis were all exceptionally rendered with a lot of feel. The choice of rAgams and kritis was particularly refreshing. The AlApanais of kharaharapriya, khamAs, pUrikalyANi and the main kAmbhOnji where all wonderful and done to the right measure with a lot of classical phrases. The neraval svarams were all done with quite a bit of vyavaharam, without breaching to the raga bhavam. The accompanists did a wonderful job in accompanying and giving appropriate replies during their turns.

It was a very good concert to remember for a long time.
