Sathya is a pride of our school - Remarks Mrs YGP




Sathya’s December 06 music festival started in a high note of appreciation from Mrs YGP, Chairman Bharat Kalachar where he performed his 1st concert for this December on the 2nd
from 4 – 630pm.

“Sathya is a pride of our school and he played so well today that he was bringing out the melodious sounds of Veena & Mandolin from keyboard. I sincerely felt that he was bringing out every essence of Carnatic music on his keyboard – a western instrument, and I have never heard anybody play this instrument to this high level.

Mrs YGP also spoke very high of the enhancement artists. On her view B Ananthakrishnana on violin gave not just support but also challenged Sathya in his alapanas & swaras and the concert came out well with this factor. Regarding the percussion artists she went on to say that it was like a Tiger – Phalgun on Mrudhangam, Lion – Sri E M Susbramaniam and a Leopard – Yuvakalabharathi Sowrirajan on Morsing were of to paunch on a deer – Sathya and yes at the end this jungle game came out to a halt with all the four of them becoming friends and they did give a pleasing concert to the ears of the audience.

Many of the rasikas who had attended Sathya’s concert at Sri Karaneeswarar Temple, Saidepet appreciated the krithi Diwakaram in Yadhukula Kambhodhi here as they felt it had its additional modulation than what he played there on the 18th Nov’06. Special mention and appreciation from the audience came for the alapana of Bandhuvarali and Kaapi apart from the kalpanaswara prayogams, particularly the kanakus he performed during the main krithi Inthasowkyamu in Kaapi.

Thyagarajar krithi Nadha dhanumanusham on Chithranjani & Lalgudi’s thillana on ragam Paras which were taken up by Sathya for the first time also received well by the audience. The song details performed are mentioned here under:
