The opening Varnam is a super combo ( Natakurinji + Hamsadhwani grafted ) and a fete in itself. A 'must hear' for TMK!

(Hope the deity prayed is same in both varnams).

From the banner we get to know the concert was at Bharat Hotel, Ernakulam. Unable to guess when it happened.

The concert is however brilliant and proves how young Balabhaskar has imbibed the prowess of his Guru Sasikumar in large measures.

Really such a tragic loss to the music world.
Balabhaskar was a brilliant violinist and composer.
Heartfelt condolences to his wife Lakshmi. May God give her the strength to bear the loss of her husband and daughter.

Cienu,
His daughter too was in the car? How tragic! May God give her strength to cope with this--and to his parents and
family...
