Thoughts

Above the pieces above, the ones that I most enjoyed listening to was the RTP in raga Poorvikalyani

- "Kaanakkidaikkumo Sabhesan Darishanam Kandaal Kalitheerume," the fantastic Nadopasana in raga Begada, and the beautiful Shri Chamundeshvari in raga Bilahari.

Shri Raghu's thani-avartanam (and this concert in general) is extremely beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it.
