Sathya & team at their Best - 23rd Nov'06




23rd Nov is the birthday of Puttaparthi SaiBaba and i think it was indeed his blessings which was showering on Sathya like the Chennai rains a week back. The private concert today was one which brought probably the best of everyone in the team of B Ananthakrishnan on violin, Thillaisthanam Suriyanarayanan on Mrudhangam and Pradeep on Tabla.

The energy level was always increasing right from Saranga Varnam and was evident while kalpanaswaras were being played on Hamsanandhi for Pavanaguru. Sathya tried out different patterns and Ananthakrishnan gave a great performance too and it looked as if they were on a competetive mood to beat the other on stage. Ananthakrishnan was all praise for Sathya and so was Suriyanarayanan & Pradeep. The energy graph was peaking to its best when Sathya concluding the concert with a Sai bhajan. Rightly said this bhajan was the start for many more concerts to come and it looked as if Sathya has just trying to get to the next level of his performance and hope with the grace of almighty he does show this in HYD and Calicut.
While the bride's family requested for films numbers to be included while confirming the concert a month ago, it happend that just one number on charukesi with Vasanthamullai being the only one rendered. Infact when a request for just being made, it was felt by one and all that Sathya continue the same carnatic side and it was only apt that the concert went in this style as otherwise may be the energy lelvels would have taken different ways!!.
