A weighty concert by the sisters at Narada Gana Sabha.After singing a popular varna in Todi they began with another popular composition on Lord Ganesha by Dikshitir. The swaras were brisk and well presented and they chose to end the swaras at Nirantaram where Nirantaram also starts at Nishada.. That was very good.. After a good elaboration of Kaanada by Haripriya, Sukhi Evvaro of Tyagaraja was sung with devotion with a round of decent swaras . Choosing Purvikalyani next was so refreshing...
Kambhoji was beautifully elaborated by Haripriya. Aadum Daivam was a treat to listen.

The highlight of the concert indeed was RTP in Lalita. Good elaboration of the raaga by both Shanmukhapriya and Haripriya . Taana was grt..
A beautifully chosen Pallavi in raaga Lalita and swaras .. They immediately switched over to Bhairavi by singing the Pallavi line in Bharavi. That was simply amazing.. with swaras in Bhairavi.Similarly the same was done for both Amruthavarshini and ranjani. Pallavi was sung in the raaga followed by swaras. Haripriya concluded singing the swaras in reverse order of raags from Ranjani to Lalita .
Swaras in Amruthavarshini and Ranjini were simply superb.

Annamarchary kriti and Madhurashtakam was enjoyed by audience clapping in tune with the beat of the kriti.
