The concert started brightly with the auspicious ragam Sourashtram.

Vidushi SN displayed excellent manodharmam in the raga essays of Saveri and kiravani.

Probably she wanted to do neraval @ pallavi of Saveri kriti then changed her mind may be due to paucity of time.

Sudhamayi with a crisp chittaswaram sounded sweet and neat.

The post tani items were all sweet and dessert especially Kannanai kanpadheppo,the song given an immortal status by late GNB was rendered with full bhavam and literally moved me.

Both the accompanists did a commendable job and lifted the quality of the concert.

Vidushi SN deserves top honors and should be given senior slot in the sabhas.

An excellent concert.
