Very good concert it was. The felicity with which Smt. Jayalakshmi was handling the instrument was exceptional. The presentation of kritis and manOdarman were all very good too. The mridangist was perfect for the occasion. Great concert

[srikant1987]

Smt Jayalakshmi plays the veena at an amazing speed. The nATTaikurinji was very moving ... for some ragams overwhelming with melting phrases in quick succession (as opposed to a slow delivery giving rasikas time to chew and digest every phrase) is a very effective option. The speed also made the beginning varNam and vinAyaka kriti, and the filler kuntaLavarALi very effective too. However, slowing down a little would have helped the simhEndramadhyamam greatly, and perhaps the tODi too. That said, the tODi was very good too.

There was paTTi viDuva (manjAri) somewhere in between. Perhaps between nATTaikurinji and simhEndramadhyamam.
