8. janama marunekE sAthi... meerAke prabhu - kalavathi ?? - meera bhajan
9. mangalam

I went to the concert with a sense of urgency to hear vidushi Vijayalakshmi for the first time, but traffic snarls dropped me at Arabi at 7pm(30 minutes late). She sang Arabi quite well, though the krithi was finished quite fast. The next sAramati was sung very well getting the right emotive feeling preserving the sAramati sowkhyam.

The kalyAni alApanai was just good but not expansive as what a main krithi demands.The concert sagged a lot musically in both the krithi and the swarams. Swarams were also short just for 6 minutes , and the patterns were always staying mediocre. The next popular tungA teera virajam was just good , I could identify the first rAgA as sAlakabhairavi, and the next did not appear as Ahir Bhairav??.

rAgamaliga viruttam was the most inspiring number .She rendered both hamsAnandi and bhAgeshri very well .behAg was good .The last madhuvanti?? thukkadA was a new experience and was emotive and was very good. The last meera bhajan was a surprise which turned minor as she quickly concluded the concert with a mangalam at 8:40 pm. Certainly disappointed to come for a 2 hour and 10 minutes concert , that too the floor was open as it was a prime evening concert.:/

chandramouli was good in viruttam ,but average in the main kalyAni. Tvr Vaidyanathan was caught up with law of average along with the kanjira artist. Overall an average so so concert, hopefully will hear a significantly better concert in the future.
