The concert was very good. The AlApanai of sAmA was very elaborate and showcased the raga svaroopam in multiple ways. It was a very moving. The kriti and svarams were good too. The AlApanai of sAvEri was superb. It was very elaborate affair and the kriti was presented with a fittingly elaborate neraval and svarams at the anupallavi. The shankarAbaraNam AlApanai had a not-so-orthodox start. However, it was developed well and in line with the piece that was to be rendered. The accompanists were good. The concert was very much enjoyable. A brilliant choice of ragams and songs by the artists of the day. It was a great concert.
