It was a very good concert. It was a very good effort by the upcoming star of carnatic music that was presented with a lot of care. The choice of kritis and ragams was pretty impressive.

Beginning with the bEgaDa varNam was very impressive and it was aptly followed up with a brisk rendition of the bhairavi number with a good round of svarams.

The AlApanai of simmendra madhyamam was good and somewhat indicative of a fast kriti. The song which came was rounded off with a round of neraval and svarams. The danyAsi AlApanai was very classical and rendered with a good weight. The kriti was rendered beautifully with an elaborate round of neraval and svarams. The janaranjani AlApanai was very well handled and the kriti was beautifully rendered. The kharaharapriyA kriti was rendered with some superb sangatis.

The main kAmbhOji was grand and rendered in all its colours. The kriti was rendered well with an elaborate round of svarams. The post tani pieces were all good also.

The violinst was good in all parts and gave good and measured responses. The mridangist was wonderful and accompanied with a lot of anticipation. His accompanying was very inspiring. He was ably supported by the kanjira vidwan. The tani they shared was very nice also.
