——————-
* Tribute concert to Balamuralikrishna by one of his senior disciple.
* Highlights : Raghupriya alapana, the swaras he sang for nATa, a fabulous neraval for kAmavardhani with some nice takes around the rAgamudra.
* Special pallavi for the occasion. Very well executed, especially the tAnam and trikalam. No ragamalika swaras but the vachaspati kalpana swaras were truly top class.
*BMK’s mangalam on Vinayaka was beautiful.
*Solid percussion support. Praveen was in some form.
