S.Hariharan (Carnatic Vocal)
-Good traditional concert. Hariharan, who has good voice clarity at the lower octaves as well, showed a strong pathantara and bhavam. He maintained a brisk tempo and balance. Keeravani raga alapana of both Hariharan and Ganesh Kumar were outstanding. Well supported by a full complement of accompanists. (Balasubramanian)

The entire performance was sung beautifully and was on the whole, very good. (Sindhuja)


V. Shankaranarayanan (Carnatic Vocal)
-Sri Shankarnarayanan delivered a flawless 2-hour feast to the ears in the time-honoured paani of earlier times The twin highlights of the concert were the Kharaharapriya. In the latter half which moved majestically along, and the Vachaspathi piece in the fist half that danced a lively tune with brisk swaras. The accompanying artistes offered ample support, with occasional flashes of brilliance.
(Dr. N. Krishnamurthy)
