A good concert for Indian Fine Arts 02-Jan'07




With Anayampati Venkatasubramaniam on Violin, Trivandrum Balaji on Mrudhangam & Sivaramakrishnan on Ghatam, Sathya gave a good sweat concert on the 2nd January 2007 from 1030 – 1200 noon at German Hall, T.Nagar. Sathya utilized the time given and gave a presentation which went well with the audience present in a decent number for a morning slot concert particularly being the first working day after a long holiday. Sathya performed Theliyaledhu Rama on Dhenuka for the first time and it came out very well.

The President of the Sabha while speaking before the concert ended appreciated Sathya’s ability. He opinioned that Sathya gave a alapana of Chakravagam for Gajananayutham with great perfection that he did not slip to Malayamarutham which is very close to this raga as one tends to fall in to this trap. He also appreciated the krithi on Navarasa Kanada – Ninuvina which to his opinion was rendered in the style of Sri T. R. Mahalingam on the flute. As per his request Sathya ended the concert with Swathi Thirunals’ thillana on ragam Dhanshree. Kudos to the accompanying artists as their quality performance enhanced the concert to its best level. The list is as follows:

01. Gajananayutham – Chakravagam – Adi (Ragam & Swaram)
02. Ninuvina – Navarasa Kanada – Rupakam
03. Dhudukugala – Gowla – Adi
04. Narayana – Suddha Dhanyasi – K’chaapu (Ragam)
05. Theliyaledhu Rama – Dhenuka – Adi
06. Sabapathikku – Aboghi – Rupakam (Ragam, Swaram and Thani)
07. Thillana – Dhanashree - Adi
