A very measured concert. All the pieces were rendered beautifully. The strict adherence to the traditional padAndaram was very obviously seen thro' the performance. Each piece presented was presented with precision and everything falling in place. The manodarmam part was very nice also. All AlApanais were amazingly done. The neraval and svarams were done with the rAga bhAvam intact and in a nice fashion. The accompanists were good also.
