Gurucharan gave a very satisfying concert for almost 3 hours for the Pune audience today. He covered almost all the major composers in his concert.

The main item was thyagaraja's masterpiece in Bharavi.

The RTP in Suddha Dhanyasi also had ragamalika swarams in nalinakanthi and suryashri also called haricharan (created by Tanjore S Kalyanaraman)

Nagai Sriam gave very good support on the violin though he had initial hicups with the mic system etc. K V Prasad on the mridangam was as usual excellent.
