Began with Kaanada varnam. Ninne Bhajana in Nattai going on now.
Good padantharam. Voice is attractive. Laya control a bit improved - swarams in 'Sita Rama' for Nattai don't sound as 'snug' as one would expect them to.
Neraval and Swarams at Ramamanohari. Confidence over layam has definitely improved. Swarams come out like sparkling diamond dust. If only she had taken a simpler eduppu for Ninne Bhajana...
Violinist needs more practice and training; is borderline mediocre (unimaginative, poor bowing, either too present or too absent). Mridangam and vocalist have good potential- vocalist needs to work more on integrating brigas better into the krithi (esp. in the thillana) and sruthi lapses, mridangist needs more exposure. Overall, a pleasant concert.

Wow, my android music player just played that concert of S Kalyanaraman - by sheer round robin - only yesterday! Something fishy
Ever since Sangeethapriya left me, S Kalyanaraman has only been an elusive dream...
