One could feel as though one was sitting inside the Sanctum Sanctorum of a temple while hearing to the stupendous Saveri of Aishwarya which was the main Raga of the day.Kalpana Swarams were done exhaustively and extremely well handled .The Swara sancharams shows how confident Aishwarya is and how well trained and practiced her voice is. Smt Anuthama played extremely well supporting the main artist at all times.
Aishwarya took the rasikas to a trance with her Jo Achyutha Nanda Jo Jo.
Her Padandharam Shudham was seen clearly when she forcefully rendered Bharathi’s song in exactly the same way as her Great Grandmother and Grandmother.
Gaanakuyil was a surprise perhaps inspired by Arasi’s presence.
When Aishwarya folded her hands and closed her eyes as she mentioned the Gaankuyil’s name, there were tears in many an eye. I was happy to meet Arasi for the first time.Sri B Sivaraman supported extremely well and in combination with Sri Sivaramakrishnan played a short and sweet thani.
Not just the Rasikas, one could find Sri.H.Sivaramakrishnan enjoying the concert and encouraging Aishwarya.!
Looking forward to hearing Aishwarya next season
