It was quite a good concert. No harsh notes. It was a smooth ride. Good selection of songs and ragas. AmbaaL based songs. They were picked from VS' s repertoire on her famed Kshetra sangeetham series.

Only special comment can be that the Bhairavi swarajithi is in itself a long viLamba Kaala song. Adding a very elaborate ragam, neraval and swarms to it, to me, seemed a overkill. But it was well executed and one can listen to long bhairavis without problem.
