It was a good concert. The kriti selection and renditions were good. The sub-main hindOLam was very well elaborated and presented in a chaste fashion. The main kalyANi AlApanai was good in parts.

The violinst was good in parts. The mridangist was excellent and played perfectly for the songs and the svarams.

I had to leave during the main kriti.

I think i will listen to him again.

I think Manimaaran was the first winner in Bajaj saptaswarangal in Sun TV host by Ramanan may be 10 years back. The judge for the finals were Malaysia vasudevan, and I remember him appreciating the sahana rendition , sree Vaathapi Ganapathi-ye and the cinema version of the raga Paarthen Rasithen.
