Pick of the Concert: Amruthavarshini alapana, swaram, Fantastic KHP. close to 18 mins alapanai, with around 7 mins return by Embar Kannan. Tani was very good too. Sindhubhairavi Tillana was well rendered!

The tempo was maintained throughout the concert and absolutely no dull moment in the concert.

Mannargudi Easwaran sir's playing was easily the best thing about Sanjay's concert. He was just excellent that day.

[behag]

very good concert indeed. the bilahari alapanai was just brilliant

[sappri]

The class and professionalism with which the event was done certainly needs to be appreciated. Beautifully and tastefully done up stage, good accoustics, lovely albeit (very) brief introductions, all right up to the lovely bouquets for honouring the artistes, I think need special mention, all of which embellished the entire listening experience.....

[srikant1987]

Lovely to see bilahari taken up for main, especially a Mysore Vaudevacharya composition. What talam is it set to?

Now I feel I should've attended this one!
