Sandeep Narayan’s concert at Chinmaya Mission, Delhi

I heard Sandeep perform in Delhi this evening, after almost a decade. It was a short 90-minute concert and hence, had a hurried feel overall.

• Bantureeti in Hamsanadam
• Thyagaraja Yoga Vaibhavam in Ananda Bhairavi
• Mahalakshmi in Shankarabharanam (Main piece)
• Chandrachooda Siva Sankara in Darbari Kaanada
• Ramanai Bhajittai in Mand
• Thillana in Purvi
• An Abhang in Malkauns to wrap it up

He encouraged the audience to clap along during the last piece. I abhor this practice. Reminded me of the Satsang that the aunties in my neighbourhood organize regularly.
