One more of those impressive concerts by Vid Gayathri. I would have loved to stay right till the very end had I not been required to be present elsewhere. I left with a heavy heart just when the stage was set for the main song of the day. Though the recital impressed from the start, the team seemed to just get better and better as each song went by.
Vid Gayathri is one of those musicians whom I admire a lot for her vast repertoire of compositions. Not a single concert of hers has gone by without I being feted to one or more of not-frequently-sung-compositions. Today was the turn of "pAhimAm shrI rAjarAjEshwari" which, though having figured in her earlier concerts and recordings, is not heard much in the concert circuit these days. "okapAri jUDaga rAdA" was also a pleasant surprise as "ennaDu jUtunO" seems to be the more frequent choice of artists when it comes to kalAvati. hEmavati and hindOLam alapanas were executed quite well by Vid Gayathri. Vid Akkarai Subhalakshmi was in top form right from the start of the concert. She has got such amazing nAdam. Her alapanas were very very impressive. Her return from US tour is proving to be a boon to Chennai concert-goers. Vid Ganapatiraman and Vid Guruprasad played well. I would have loved to hear them play for the main song and also play the taniavartanam, but for my having to leave early.

After devagandhari, Gayathri sang the following
Nee ve nannu brova--durbar
Devi Jagat Janani-Shankarabharanam
Taniavartanam
Sringeri naayike--Arabhi
Viruttam followed by manathir--sindhuhairavi
Tillana-Surati
Mangalam
As Ram has rightly said every concert has some new offering. This time the bilahari and durbar krithis also being ones which are not heard frequently these days.
