One of her superlative concerts, better than the 4 hour even IMO; about 2 hours overall; voice just was amazing and obeys her commands just like that.

My first concert (back in Chennai) for over five weeks. It was a wonderful "homecoming." It felt like breathing fresh clean air. Wonderfully refreshing!

Indeed, her voice is really beautiful

Almost superhuman power and facility of voice. Listening to her live is quite an experience.

Highly nuanced presentation of kalpita sangeetham with lots of flourishes and ornamentation -
her viribhoni varnam from the previous 4 hour concert was exceptional.

The way she started the sub main alapana was novel & scintillating. It was a sharply angled bank shot, whirled around saraswathi for a millisecond & dropped into vachaspathi.

Talking about voice, one of my friends shared this link on sound cloud https://soundcloud.com/v-shankar-naraya ... -santhanam

Want to listen to a proper concert of this artist. I briefly attended a concert in vivadi ragas but my ears are more the sankarabharanam, saveri todi, kalyani type. Have anyone of you heard him before.
