Yes, that was a very good concert.
(I could listen only from Sankarabharanam)

VS's swaraprastara with many rounds in mandrastayi for the main kriti (Manasu swaadheena) was refreshing.
He permitted a sishya of him(strumming the Tambura) to sing a few turns for the niraval in the main kriti.
(What is his name?).

He sang an abhang keeping time with small cymbals (myself seeing for first time).

Urban / sub urban /rural / pan Indian or International venue, Vijay Siva presents recitals with the same involvement and sincerity. Its a laudable trait.

[HarishankarK]

Very wholesome. Could this be the concert of the season?
