A very good concert with the beautiful rendering of the varnam with an array of svarams.
Both the raga alApanais were excellent.The violinist's replies were equally good.Esp.Mohanam of SN was fine & subtle and that of CR was finer and subtler.

The virutham was sung with the best bhavam and I liked the kriti that followed very much.

Lalgudi Ganesh provided very good accompaniment and his tani in Adi- 2 kalai was good.

Had a chance to converse with Mrs.Bhageerati,prof.of Music in queen Marys.Got some useful information.Never leave a chance to hone my knowledge

A truly great concert with sustained high levels technicallly, aesthetically, Bavam& Sowkyam wise also...The accompanists were very good too...Any one who forces one to make comparisons with GIANTS like Dandapani Desikar, KVN, Brinda & MMI in a two hour concert has TRULY ARRIVED WITH A "BIG BANG".....I am looking forward to her scaling greater heights.
