it was a good concert
their ragas are very pure but they did not sing many sangatis and overall all songs were sung in fast tempo only
their vidwat came out even in brief raga sketches like Sama , Jog etc but something was lacking

Mridangam was quite loud !

Hyderabad Brothers = Raghavachari + Seshachari
Concert started around 7ish and ended around 10 and more than 45 mins speeches in between

One of them the younger one sang most of the time the other one just sang now and then. The youngers voice is more powerful and robust than the other.
Too much noise in the hall and absolute no respect whatsoever for the artists. Very sad. Loads of speeches - totally unwanted - people speaking wrong english.
instead concert time could have been increased.
