An awesome concert by Bangalore S Sankar, yesterday at Essae Music Foundation.  Every krithi was detailed and how beutifully ! Hamsanandi , Kalyanavasantham , mukhari and hemavati , each of these raga and krithis were very good. Adding to the already amazing singing was Mysore Nagaraj with his some outstanding violing support.

Started a bit slow and it took the hamsanandi krithi to turn on the feat. From that point, there was no looking back. The ‘in-shruthi’ prayer from the near by masjid , or the lashing rain could not deter the performers or the audience. It was a real treat to the ardent listeners of carnatic music.  A concert, we will talk about for some time.
