Overall, nice concert
1. Seshachar did sarasangi alapana which was nice.. In the Swara section, they rendered it for both neekela and dhayaraadhu
2. Raghavachar did a fair amount of alapana for Saaveri
3. I dont understand, why ragavachar has to repeat swaras of seshachar... he did that for a few rounds

[karaikurichi]

Namaste Paradevate is in raga Devaranji. There is a beautiful recording available of the bros singing this.

Agree with you on point no. 3. I have wondered the same umpteen times, esp given that Raghavachari is a very competent artist.

[sureshvv]

Are you sure he repeats without any variation? Have heard them many times and I am sure I would have noticed.

[bilahari]

In my experience, the first couple of rounds of swaras by Sri Seshachari are generally repeated with minimal alteration by Sri Raghavachari. Subsequently he branches off, and as the kalpanaswaras progress, I forget the initial repetition ever happened.
