A Marathon 3 hours and 15 minutes affair of absolutely creative yet vintage classical music.

The accompanists were very supportive and did a good job.Smt. The deep classical touch that was prevalent made it a concert that would be unforgettable. Each piece was rendered with a definitive stamp on it.
The intelligent and elegant handling of sAhityam and apt choice of lines of neraval was just too good. Raga delineations were very crisp and yet soaked in deep classicism. The veteran's handling of kritis and rAgams, and the neraval svarams were all a simply superb.

Probably an non-co-operative throat led to the early ending of the concert and short versions of pieces. The concert ended much before the scheduled end time. Along with the ultra short tani, the pallavi was over in less than half an hour and there were a whooping 35 minutes left for tukkadas. There were just a couple of rounds of svarams in aTANA before she started rendering rAga mAlikA svarams, just one round in each rAgam. However, the AlApanai and tAnam were very short and the pallavi wasnt elaborated much either. One was expecting a very elaborate pallavi. There was about an hour and 10 minutes left when She started the Pallavi. Her daughter sang the AlApanai in the higher octave. The main kharaharapriya kriti was rendered in one kaLai and the AlApanai was short. The mOhanakalyANi piece was good and was given enough weightage. One could evidently see the amount of vidwat and capabilities of the main artist, however, thanks to her bad throat she was restrained in the upper registers. However, one felt all the alapanais were rather short and could have been a bit more elaborate, considering the amount of time that was left.

The tani was quite elaborate and made very interesting to listen as well.Ĭharumathi Ramachandran, Subhashree Ramachandran - M R Gopinath - M L N Raju - Anirudh Athreya Those of bilahari and ranjani and kIravANi were very quite elaborate. The AlApanais of asAvEri and Anandabhairavi were especially very moving. It was all soaked in deep classicism and rendered rather effortlessly. The kritis, neraval and svarams and AlApanais were all very very impressive.
