Any reviews of the concerts?

Coming soon. Sam will be posting soon. But both concerts were brilliant. OS Arun sang a beautiful Kalyani and Sundari Nee followed by a long list of requests. Gayatri was scintillating in Thodi-Ninne Nammi and a Amritavarshini-Anandabhairavi RTP followed by some divine "Divine Classicals'

Did OS Arun sing any padams or jAvaLis? I'm a big fan of his padam renditions after Jaya TV MMU 2011.

Yes, he sang a lovely padam in Nilambari on request

In fact OSA has the unique ability to convert any song into a bhajan. There is a (larger?) audience for that style. It is highly impressive to listen for the first 15 minutes- just as in the case of listening to HM

I have to say his Kalyani Alapana was 'up there' He also did sruti bedam to Madhyamavati and Hindolam. He sang some crisp Kalpana Swarams for Hamsadhwani-opening song. Very good concert. Ofcourse, as you say there was an audience waiting to hear his bhajan/abhang.
