A leisurely concert. Each piece presented with so much grandeur. Each concert of this vidwan is like a special occasion for music.

The alapanai of ghaNTA was such a experience. Sri Namboodri demonstrated the difference between closely allied ragas of ghaNTA, such as bhairavi, Ananda bhairavi, dhayAsi. It was a striking difference to hear navarasa kannaDa after ghaNTA.

It was a wonderful concert. No words would be sufficient to describe the concert. The main item was the sapta rAga tALa mAlika which is 7 rAgams and in 7 tALams, which form the alankaram. Hence, the compositions upto the main item were in other tALams such as cApu and dEsadi. The tukkaDa section also saw tALams which are very rare. A very informative and innovative presentation.

It was an exquisite experience. A wonderful concert with each item very well presented. When a musician is able to internalise and present music with much conviction and confidence, the outcome should be of the highest order. With each uruppadi carefully chosen and neatly presented, with a set of accompanying artists who share the same musical thought, it was a concert to remember for a long time.

It was a cosmic flow of chaste music at Ragasudha when Smt. Sangeetha Sivakumar sang. All the ragams and songs taken up were of the highest order. All ragams chosen were heavy. Some allied and some very close to one another. And yet there were so deftly and ably handled. It was a amritha pravaaham. And with each piece it left the listener puzzled at what could come next and then a much bigger song/ragam would follow. The accompanists Smt. Hemalatha and Sri. Sivaraman were so well adding to the musical experience. On the whole it was a concert to remember for a long time.
