Amirtha Murali’s concert for SAFE can be easily described as wholesome from all aspects – selection of songs , execution, support from violin and mrudangam and must have satisfied to all discerning listeners. Her elaboration and rendering of song in Anandabhairavi was on austerely classical lines, revealing solid endowments and stood for sampradaya Padanthara. Raga elaboration of Kalyani and Kanada were enchanting and the swara exchanges between the vocalist and violinist in kanada were delightful.

After the concert one cannot help wondering why such a good artist is not often seen in vocal concert platform.

A very high level of classicism and dignity in presentation marked the entire performance.
Anandabhairavi was assiduously built up with.elegance. and classical flavour.There was not even a remote hint of its often heard "nalangu “ counterpart.
The tightly presented Kalyani had her youthful exuberance reflected in a few adventurous sallies. Kanada was presented with great care and sincerity.
As usual with her, the kirtana patantharas were authentic and rendered masterfully. The neraval and swaras to Sukhi Evvaro were noteworthy for their aesthetic sensitivity
.
Padma amazes one with her contribution to the musical effort. She effortlessly gets into the same wavelength of the vocalist and many a time silently spurs them on to greater musical heights.

Srivathsan on the mridangam kept a tight kalapramanam so that the other artistes knew exactly where there at every point.

At the end of the concert , a knowledgeable rasika remarked " Innikku Andha Kalathu Pattu kettenâ€

I believe Amritha Murali is continuing her vocal music training under Sri P S Narayanaswamy.

Kanada was presented with none of the gimmicks usually used to get applause at the expense of classicism.

At the end of the concert, Sri T R Subrahmanyam was heard remarking to Amritha, "It is getting harder and harder to say whether your vocal music is better or your violin is better."
