Pramod,

Thank you. I glanced the URL today morning but missed out this review.
And the first para is an interesting read in the midst of so many threads here on instruments &CM
given below.

The myth that ‘gamakam' from a western instrument such as the Mandolin was impossible had been dispelled by Shrinivas long back. But, in this concert he went a step further and proved that even pregnant pauses with extended karvais can also be played on the instrument. In his detailing of the main raga Khambhodi, Shrinivas in the initial stages, structured the raga with many solid phrases leading to the reposeful lengthy ones touching the tara and even athi tara sthayi excursions drawing thunderous ovation.
