Summary:
Age seems to be catching up with veteran vocalist R.
Vedavalli, hampering the presentation of the enormous erudition. Sweet song, rendered fully-featured, niraval, swaras and all. Without giving Hemalatha opportunity to play the raga, Vedavalli slid to tanam. Vedavalli belongs to the first, which was borne out by the simple-yet-elegant Saveri, the first major element of the concert. It didn’t help that mridangist Arun Prakash thought it fit to confine himself to bringing out barely audible taps..
