Awsome concert, complete in all aspects. good support by accompanists. good alapanas and some good neraval. As usual great RTP, tanam leisurely rendered. In saraguna palimpa, swaras were rendered in sreenivasa (in veechu), swara korvai and tani avarthanam also ended at same eduppu. Both kedara gowlai and reeti gowlai had nice sancharams, and sung well in mandara stayi also. Trikalam was sung in pallavi, and a korvai to end with.
Superb concert - it was very traditional fare - blissful. devoid of gimmickry. where have such concerts gone?
Sad at the turnout of around 70-80. I felt bad after the nada surabhi concert where vidushi's throat had gone bad. This was classicism at its best. sowkhyam indeed.
BTW I didn't know that folks practice the RTP ahead of time with the accompanists. She apologized to them. Indeed do the accompanists know ahead of time ?
Gardabha-gana,
I suppose it helps if the accompanists know the layA pattern in a pallavi ahead of time--especially with a wiz like SP!
Pattamma,
I haven't heard her in a while. The saraguNa pAlimpa which she sang at Petachi (the first time I heard her) is still fresh in my memory. Don't remember though if the neraval line was 'maganIya SrinivAsa'. Perhaps at 'varaguNa sEshAdri'. Did your son go with you? Curious to know how he appreciates the music of senior vidvAns and vidUshis. Of course, Parassala Golden Girl is a household word in your family!
Thanks arasi. BTW - where do you live ? Are you in the US ? If so, where ? You seem to be aware of the happenings in bangalore and I noted on another thread (re: Anil Narasimha) that you lived abroad.

When you said it is pallavi concert , i thought there will only be one or two RTP , but now it is just like a regular concert with a pallavi. May I know little more about ghana nava rAgamAliga varnam (is that big five rAgas)
