The alapanai of Arabhi and khamAs were very educative and showed the essential phrases. The shankarabaranam was majestic. The highlight of the program was the commentary by Dr Hemalatha, where she mentioned the differences in handling of ragas by each of the trinity and contemperory usages. She highlighted the special old-school phrases which are not all that oft heard in concerts these days.
