It was a very beautiful concert by the brothers, their trademark sowkhyam and shruthi-shuddham being present in full measure. Kalpana swarams were sung at 'prasiddha gaNa nAyakam' for siddhi vinAyakam, at 'hari nEnendu' for nEnendu vedakudurA and at 'suvAsita nava javanti pushpa' for shrI mAtrubhUtam. For the main piece in kharaharapriya, there was a round of tisra naDai swarams and a neat koraippu. The accompanists supported the vocalists very well.
P.S: The newly air-conditioned Swamy's Hall is very nice, with good acoustics!
