A good concert .His varAli was very good,but shankharabharanam was not too exciting . I just had to walk to ask him who was the composer of this new asAveri tillana , he said it is me ,enjoyed both his rendering and the surprising reply. That leaves lakshman sir to add another line entry in his karnatik.com .

His grandfather (palAkkad raghu),showed his vintage class to some extent in varAli, his tani was ok. But as usual the sound of his mridangam did have his trademark azhutham(hope he gives that insight to most of the young mridangists of today). The disappointment of the concert was smt rukmini's violin. The ghatam artist was just ok.

Rajeshnath,
T. Rukmini, even at this age has such sweetness in her playing. No, I haven't heard her as an accompanist in a long while but heard her solo performance in Chennai in January. It was a delightful concert.

Hearing Smt Rukmini match Sri TRS note for note was one of the highlights of my childhood as I was being exposed to Carnatic music. Nice to see her still playing on the concert stage and I hope I can get to hear her live sometime during the season!
