It was a nice concert. All the items were presented very well. The neraval and svarams at 'kaLamuna sObillu kanakabhUshaNamula' in 'mEru samAna' were good. The rItigauLa AlApanai was really good. The varALi AlApanai, neraval and svarams were good though the kriti was a bit of a let down. The main bhiaravi was rendered very well also. Real good concert by Smt Rajan ably supported by all the accompanists.

I would love to post a more elaborate review on this beautiful concert. Unfortunately, this is all i m permitted to type by my aching hand...
