I was there for the concert of Ramaprasad's concert. It was a complete display of virtuoso and bhavam. I came in when he was about to finish the varnam. I thoroughly enjoyed the kalapramanam of his Namakusumamula. And he sang a few crisp swarams as well, liberally borrowing ideas from the Sri Raga varnam and Endaro Mahanubavulo. Then came the latangi ragam. He sang with a lot of bhavam and emphasised on the key passages of Lathangi. Then, he presented the Pièce de résistance in my opinion - neraval at Alarmel mangai. Its been a long time since I have heard someone sing neraval with this precision. It was simply superb. And the following swaraprastharam had some intelligent ideas presented.

Then he moved on to a nicely presented Dhanyasi alapani followed by Meenalochana. He followed it up with Abhayambikayaha, a masterpiece of Dikshithar. To my surprise, he sang Ananda natamaduvar thillai - Surprised because its of similar pattern to the latangi kriti. But I was happy he did it, because he once again displayed his virtuoso by singing some stunning neraval for padimadhijyoti and swarams. Then he sang a thoroughly sampradaya-laden Karaharapriya, post which I had to leave.

Overall, it was a very good concert. A special mention to HNB, Narendran Mama and KVG for their able accompaniment. Especially KVG for his instant responses for the kanakku sung by Ramprasad in Lathangi.
