Vani is a disciple of raga.I have heard her a couple of times in radio and found her music to be good.So I was looking for a chance to hear her in person and then came this opportunity.
VR has a rich and bold voice which makes her to sound a tad louder at times.If she can work out on taming her voice a bit she will surely go places.
Her neraval @ paramapavani and subsequent svarams were briliant for durusuga,Saveri.Her outline of peelu followed by jagadhodharana was executed with feelings.Equally good was thoomani madathu in hameerkalyani.Surprisingly she didn't sing any abhang.The sparse crowd may be didn't know about her tutelage under the famous raga.
