It was a wonderful concert. The Reethigowlai song was rendered well. Shyama Sastri's Devi Brova was emotive. The Kalyani was fine with an elaborate Neraval. To me, the pick of the concert was the Pallavi. It was a detailed exposition that lasted for an hour. The execution of the Pallavi was perfectly done, with both Trikalam and Tisram. Really good technical display here. The violinist accompanied well and all his responses were precise in proportion. Liked his version of Keeravani Ragam. The Thani was crisp and well structured too.

Overall, a fine concert with a really well conceived and executed Pallavi, that made it a nice evening!

I wanted to make it to this concert, unfortunately commute took a long time. What are the rAgamAliga ragas for the swarams please

[Sathej]

The Ragams were Saraswathi, Saraswathi Manohari and Brindavani, I guess.
