It was a wonderful concert. Natakapriya was dealt very well and it was pleasant experience listening to this raga which is not very commonly heard here in Hyderabad. The Neraval for Tharama nee mahima pogada was something really worth mentioning. The main piece Bhairavi and also the ragam thanam pallavi in Mohanam were sung very well. The pallavi was "Mohana Mudhdhu Rangayya Nannu Brovavayya". The accompaniments did a wonderful job. I was a pleasing experience listening to Mrs.Gayathri
