It was a good concert, with a fabuluos thani from Sivaraman.
I reached only at 7.30pm when he started the thodi alapana.
I have to hear the same song which was sung by Abhisekh few days back.
This one was leisurely done thodi and was good.
He did Shruti bEdam from thodi to sankarabaranam, on his reply Manjunath did it from thodi to mohanam

I felt Manjunath was reply was more aggressive (it was good) but cannot steal the thunder from the young vocalist.
For a change Sivaraman was more subdued and stole the thunder in the Thani. Anirudh hardly played in the Thani,
more awed my the master, I suppose.

The last two pieces were too loud can't hear the vocalist most of the time.
