It was one superb concert. From the grand varNam, each piece was rendered very beautifully. Everything fell in place. The AlApanais were as usual very innovative and refreshing. The neraval were extensive. I was mesmerised by his one Avarthana svarams. The number of patterns which kept coming were just endless. The violinst was giving good replies. Sri Murthy was playing very well, in complete tandem with the main artist. Sri Sivaraman ably supported him.

Moderators can you please move balaji sir's post to vidwans thread so that this wonderful post doesn't get buried in the reviews thread.

Any photo available?

rajumds: Good suggestion. Balaji's write-up about M.N. Kandaswamy Pillai has been moved to a new topic under vidwans here: http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=83752

Please post M.N. Kandaswamy Pillai specific items to that thread from now on. Thanks.

suresh,

Only one, I'm afraid, and the phone camera is really not up to the job from halfway back in the hall.

I have a new PC, or rather the old one with new insides, but lacking many of the old programs. I'll see what I can do with the photo when I can upload it. Don't even have the drivers for the phone loaded next.

Technical trivia! taking away from talk about a great concert and a wonderful evening!

Now I understand how Gobilalatha's question came to be so well-timed!

I meant a photograph of M.N.K, not of the event. I shall check the new thread in the Vidwans and Vidushis forum also.
