Young vocalist Rithvik Raja seems to have taken up this mission quite seriously and his vocal recital differs and stands out from the rest of his peers. In fact, the whole concert seemed to be a ‘personal musical conversation’ between Rithivik Raja and Shriramkumar. Rithvik also connected every kriti with a brief extension of the previous raga and then switched over to the next raga. Gurucharan presented a detailed niraval at ‘Neera Sampoorna’ and it was linked to an exhaustive swarakalpana. Listening to a concert in the virtual medium as opposed to a concert in an auditorium does have a difference.
