To begin with, I missed the first half an hour of the concert! :( I reached just in time for the sankarAbharaNam AlApana. My sister tells me the Huseni AlApana was too good!

Though the sankarAbharaNam (liked the neraval very much) and pUrvikalyANi were great, it was only the sAramati RTP (esp. the taanam and swarams) that was the best part of this concert! But, compared to the concert at Mudhra on the previous day, this concert definitely wasn’t up to that level. Sanjay’s voice sounded a bit strained in a few places. The two tukkadas in the end replete with viruttams were, as usual, good.

Had I not attended the Mudhra concert and an equally awesome concert at German Hall on the next day, I guess I would have raved even more about this concert. ;) (That’s why I shouldn’t postpone writing the posts!)

Btw, for those who read this post of Sanjay, let me tell you that actor ARS had come for this concert and as you can see from the list above, Sanjay sang the kOmalAngi song. ;)
