What a beautiful concert it was right from the word go !!!! Issues with the mic and speakers that were very apparent in the first song (varnam) were set right by TMK very quickly to make the rest of the concert enjoyable. The taniavartanam played in misra chApu tAlam by Sri Arun Prakash and Sri Purushottam was short, sweet and involved some intelligent use of simple mathematics while doing the kuraippu. Violin accompaniment by Sri Chandramouli was also of very good quality.
