absolutely mesmerising concert. One enjoyed every moment of it. Brilliant performance and stunning concert. The navarasa KannaDa was too good. The mukhAri was out of the world. one is out of words to express the feeling. The accompanists were perfectly blending and made it totally and thoroughly enjoyable. Sri Karthik Subramanian, disciple of Sri Ranganathan, sang the aTANA AlApanai and shared all the neraval and svara parts. He was very good and gave good support to his guru.

I attended this concert from the end of the varALi. This was a concert I wanted to attend from the beginning, but things kept delaying me.

I thoroughly enjoyed the music. The khpriyA was just too good. The presentation by the vidhushis and the perfect accompaniment were really touching and i was totally moved with the concert. All the songs were rendered beautifully and the manodarma parts were fitting.

The alapanai by Smt. Bhuvana and the kriti with the sisters exchanging neraval were all wonderfully developed culminating in the kalpana svaram korappu and kOrvai that Smt. Lalitha finished. Sri Ramadass played so well for each line of the song adding so much effect to the music. Even the tukkadas were so classical and punchy. I did enjoy the rAgamAlikA piece.

Great concert. It was wonderful.

It was a good concert. The elaborations of both Arabhi and kalyANi were done very classically and yet in a very refreshing fashion. The choice of kritis and their renditions were both totally appealing. The main artist gave a very nice concert well supported on the violin. The mridangist was good in parts.
