VR's presentation had a grace and diginity throughout the concert.She has a sweet voice with good range.Even in singing a raga like Darbar there was no trace of even mild 'Adhattal' ;the raga was built in phrases remindful of Maharajapuram style.The swara execution was superb.
The PK alapanai was with long karvais and the panjama varja sancharas in the avarohana delienated the beauty of the raga.Earlier the Asaveri song was very nice to hear and the tail end was a treat.
UR was in her elements and her playing was excellent throughout and her replies during the neraval @Premachoochi at times was superlative.
TS played softly throughout the concert making the listening a pleasure.
