The sisters gave a very good concert. I went late. Smt. Bhuvana's bilahari AlApanai and Smt. Lalita's pUrikalyANi were both done very well. The kritis were also rendered with a lot of weight. The navAvarNam rendition was quite stunning in deed.

The violinist was good over all. Her replies and following were good. The percussion dept was a little upbeat. Though good, i couldnt not stay through the full concert.

I entered in the middle of pUrviKalyaNi, (thanks to my office and traffic) despite the fact that TMK is singing in MFAC, at a stone throwing distance, I made it a point to visit to listen to them.

PurviKalyani followed by Tani. After this they rendered a Virutham in Kapi followed by "GaNa Mazhai PozhiginRan" followed by Tillana and Mangalam.

I doubt the Nada Inbam audio system. The mridangam is overpowering the voice and suNadham in mridangam was missing. Lalitha S had a terrible cough, it seems, and all it ended to be not better than their NGS concert.

Hope to see Erode Balaji in their next concert......

The mridangist was rather loud on that occasion.
I have been going to Nada Inbam for 3 days continously and the mridangam sounded rather pleasing and much more getting along on both the other occasions.
