madhyamAvati short sketch
The programme started with Smt. Jayalakshmi of Nada Inbam, giving a brief introductory welcome and this was followed by a short talk on Sri Sethalapathi Balasubramanian by one of his long-time disciples, Sri Swaminathan, who spoke about his guru and all his experiences with him and his family in a short and sweet way.
Smt. Baby Sriram began the concert with a viruttam in kharaharapriyA. She mentioned that it was Sri Balasubramanian's favourite ragam and also highlighted some of his bench-mark phrases. The kriti was rendered well. The AlApanais of kannaDa, rItigauLa, ranjani and sAvEri were all done in a very elegant fashion. It was the right mix of innovation and tradition. They were very appealing. The kritis were all well rendered. The neraval in the rItigauLa piece was nicely done. The svarams were very well sung. They had a sarvalaghu pattern in many places and there were some simple patterns also.
The accompanists did an amazing job in making the concert all the more enjoyable. It was a good show by the team. One hopes she gets more concert opportunities

Did not notice Sathej there. Think he would have liked it as it was loaded with spontaneity and the artiste challenging herself on the stage. The audience ate it up, especially the sangatis in the ragamalika virutttam and the kriti following it. One of the comments I heard was "Indha paatula ivvalo vishayam irukka"!
