It was a very good concert. I liked the AlApanais of Anandabhairavi and amrutavarshiNi. The kritis were all presented well and the manodarmam parts were very enjoyable. The accompanists were brilliant and did a wonderful job.

Her tutelage from BMK was visible in the rendition of many pieces, in particular marivErE gatiyevaramma and rAma nI samAnamevaru, and of course BMK's own compositions. The aMrutavarShinI (sp?) AlApanai was very nice. The neraval and swarams were good too. I liked this sadAmatiM a lot. Kharaharapriya RNS were very good too. I liked Smt Neeraja's style of swaram singing, in particular I liked the quality (not that my view on this counts!) and quantity of kaNakku employed.
