# Started with a bang loved the neraval and swara pattern of vasudevayAni(which had excellent swara pattern, very high in manodharmam.

# Rendition of O Rangasayee till neraval was just average (somehow felt MMI-TVS bAni sarvalaghu style does not suit O RangasAyee that much as other popular kAmbOdhi krithi's that the school is famous for ). Nevertheless neraval in Bhoolakha vaikunta was excellent with a very good swaram .

# All the tukkadas were very good , with a good recognition from the audience.

# Since the last time I heard devargal arul seidha rAgangale , he has added few more rAgas to make it more complete and rounded like his last line madhyamavati pOtrum sri jAnaki pathi?? ending with a pallavi as rAma nAdhathudan hamsanAdam muzhanga.Singing 29 rAgas in quick succession reminded me of Smt MLV who is a phenomenal tukkada singer.

# Average in OVK's reetigowlai and valaci rAga alApanai was very good. Overall an excellent 2 and 1/2 hour concert.

# Bhakthavatsalam tani was excellent, but him playing for full 8 minutes in first round and handing over to ghatam artist just created a feeling of empathy in me for shankar . Also for krithis like enna punniyam seidhanO , he could have shown little restraint in playing.

# Shri VV Ravi's violin return in alApanai was just good, but however his reflexes in neraval and swaram were little slow.

Nice...some fresh pieces...out of interest, did Suraprakash say that the virutham was popularised by SGK?
