Impressive !! I havent heard her live earlier and being the first time I was eagerly looking forward. Her concert was sandwiched between to other concerts and knowing she will have too little time to settle down andShe did that earnestly for her effortless 90 minutes essay and captivating. Started with a small virutham on Maha Periyavah, she launched into Chalemela Varnam and breezed into beautiful Purnachandrika after a crisp alapana ( Palukavemi Naa Daivama). She osciallated between lower and upper octaves during the Kalpana swaras at ease and the audience had now got the taste of what is in store for rest of the concert. She did a short and sweet Purvi Kalyani (composition of Gopalakrishna Bharathi, Nadamaadum naadhanadai malarey thunai). A short alapana of Kokilavaram aka Kokilapriya followed with composition of Dikshithar, Kodandaramam anisham. Main piece of the day Mohanam. Elaborate alapana, sangathis flowed like a stream. Effortless alapana with lovely breath control and speed. She started the krithi singing the anupallavi "Vanaja Nayana momunu".
