Venue: Indian Fine Arts Society, Balamandir German Hall
In contrast to the Ranjani/Gayathri duo, this concert was very deep and slow paced. He took his time to build up the raga, with deeper alaapanas and swaraprastharas. His singing is very methodical and I did enjoy it a lot, however, this is probably not something for the novice listener. I also had a feeling that musicians tune their concert depending on the venue. I am yet to see Neyveli's performance at a different sabha but I wonder if it would have been better had it been Academy or Krishna Gana Sabha. It is one thing to plan your concert based on audience and completely another issue if it is due to the sabha, but I digress.
Here's the list
1. Kuvalayadala - Nattaikurinji
2. Nivada negama - Saranga
3. Madha innum - Sriranjini
4. Abhimanamel - Begada
5. Mokshamu Galada - Saramathi (The alapana for this was simply outstanding)
6. Sri Subramanyaya - Kambhoji
7. Muruganin Marupeyar - Behag
8. Villanai Otha (Kavadi chindu)
9. Kaakai Chiraginile.
