;—-
*Very impressive swaras. Khamas, gaurimanOhari and the kuntala varALi swaras were very very good.
*Nice short pallavi. Tanam was superb. H N Baskar played stupendous tanam in his turn.
*Good thodi alapana, usual ‘prayogas’. Gowrimanohari alapana was very very good by the vocalist. And the nice slow approach to the aThANa alapana was also impressive.
* Arun Ganesh on mrudangam was fabulous. One young artist to look forward to. His following the main artist, the tani avartanam where he played some intricate patterns were very impressive.
*On a lighter note, the shlokam in madhyamavati came before the ‘pavamana’.
*….and why do they all sing ‘ Aaaa viribONiii’. I observed him doing this ( prefixing the a) at a few times like ‘sujana jIvanA a-rAma’ and also while singing swaras, like a launching points.
