It was a very enjoyable concert. The pieces were all rendered with the traditional gait and vigour by the veteran. All the rAga AlApanais had a lavish dose of classical phrases. The concert, barely more than an hour was still much enjoyable and very educative too.

The accomapanists were very good and played with good anticipation.
