The concert was attended by very few people. It was raining heavily outside while it was raining ragas inside the auditorium. What was surpricing was the LONG list of songs. Personally, I would have preferred a lesser number of songs. The main krithi of the evening came out as the 12th piece. However, what was impressive is the selection of the Ragams. It was very enjoyable concert.
Sri Arjunkumar and Sivaramakrishnan added flavour to the overall effect with some brilliant support. They were overdoing at times, creating a rather NOISY effect few instances.
