Though I heard completely contrasting views with mine right after the concert, my opinion about this concert hasn’t changed. I really liked this concert. The Harikambhoji, Jayantasena swarams and Purvi Kalyani were all too good. I wished there had been a neraval for Paripurna Kama. But it was more than compensated by the Kharaharapriya, every moment of which was awesome. I was so happy to hear TMK’s Kharaharapriya after a long time. The Tani Avartanam was good too. After a soft and pleasing Behag piece, Idhudhaano Tillai, the Khamas tillana was a bit too loud!

Well, to me, the concert was one-paced and slow. It was the Khamas Thillana that woke me up

Sathej,Haven’t you figured that ALL concerts of SS & TMK get rated the least as “good” :))
Hey Aparna,not sure if you mentioned in your memoirs…… why you’ve the fixation on SS & TMK? Is it the best first- impression thing that you didn’t find others’ singing not as fascinating??
Cheers,

Sathej,
Oh I see
Prasanna,
After all, it’s only because I find almost all their concerts to be at least good that I keep going for more and more concerts of theirs.
Of course, they get that rating.
You can always check my memoirs to get the answers for your questions.
Btw, did you come for this concert? If yes, then how did you like the concert?
