It was a full-fledge concert lasting 3.5 hr concert excluding close to 30 minutes break which started at 3:30 pm and ended at 7:30 pm. One of the best that I listened to of Smt. MS Sheela. The violin accompaniment of Sandhya Srinath (disciple of Lalgudi) is simply superb quality. The sound arrangement initially was not that great but slowly it began to better.

i understand that Sandhya Srinath has learnt from Vid TNK at Delhi and not Lalgudi. Pl correct me if I'm wrong.

She is certainly a gifted artist.

^ This website says Sandhya Srinath learned from both Lalgudi-sir and Sri TNK. http://www.jayamangala.org/jm02_02_11.asp
How fortunate!

Mahavishnu,
I didn't know Jayamangala had a website! Thanks Mohan, for more information about Sandhya.
Jayamangala Krishnamani, is the cousin of Sandhya's husband, who's a mrudangist. A case of music marrying music here.

Jayamangala has been singing, dancing and playing the mrudangam from a tender age. A young musician worth listening to.
