Her Kharaharapriya stood out ...and the RTP was also very nice .. RKS violin replies were just great.

[gardabha_gana]

Yeah - a really good concert - and her KHP was awesome. RKS violin returns were very nice. A well planned concert.

Smt.Suda's KGS concert is a regular must attend concert for me.but this year till Karaharapriya she really didnt pick up and concert was so so and i was not impressed.But from Karaharapriya she picked up like anything and sang well.Her RTP in Hamsanandhi was very good .(but one notch below her Three raga RTP,Kalyana Vasantham,Vasantha and Vaasanthi she sang in 2009 same venue same day and time).I am seeing bit less audiance this year compared to last few years for this christmas morning concert.

[Thirusha]

Really enjoyed it, even though we had to sit on the stage.
(sitting that close to the artist was really strange)
