As ever, I am only able to offer a few subjective comments --- probably not much help to you, I'm afraid.

I thought Malladi brothers were excellent, and it was my impression that there was more equality in their contribution than in many 'sibling' duos, which might be more accurately named as 'bro' A with vocal support from 'bro' B.

They seemed to extend this to violinist Sriram Parasuram, too, who made extensive alapana replies. There was just one occasion on which I felt that he had overstayed his welcome by a minute or three, and that the brothers were anxious to get on.

Trichy Sankaran's playing was beautiful as it always it. Neyvalli Venkatesh, unlisted team member, on Kanjira, seemed somewhat muted that night.

The concert included an RTP after the 'main' piece. It was a large-scale, heavyweight concert. Thoroughly enjoyable.

There... I'm afraid I have only whetted the appetite for a proper review!

I did attend and have noted down the songs. Will write a detailed review as soon as time permits.
