A good performance for Karpagam Gardens Sath Sangam, Adyar, Chennai 29th Mar'07







Review of the concert of Sathya on the 29th Mar'07 for Karpagam Garden Sath Sang written by Sri Sethuraman Ph: 24914880 & Sri Ganapathy Raman Ph. 24914221:
A scintilating performance on the keyboard was given by Master K Sathyanarayanan on Thursday 29th Mar'07 at Sri Karpaga Vinayagar Temple, Karpagam Gardens, Adyar, Chennai - 20 on the occasion of the temple's Sri Rama Navami Celebrations. Sathya was accompanied on the violin by Sri L. Ramakrishnan, on the Mrudhangam by Sri Arjun Ganesh and on Ghatam by Sri Harihara Subramaniam.

Right from Vasantha Varnam till the end with the bhajan Raghupathy Raghava Rajaram, Sathyanarayanan enlightened the knowledgeable audience throughout particularly in Sri Raga PancharathnaKrithi of Thyagaraja, Ragasudharasa in Andolika, Buntureethikolu in Hamsanatham and the main item 'Koluvamaragatha' in Thodi. Sathyanarayanan's manodharma in rendering the raga alapana and kalpana swaras was indeed superb. Ithinyama in malavi was presented in the right tempo and time just after the pancharathnam. Sathya played the audience request of a krithi in Sindhubhairavi.

Violinist Ramakrishnan's vidwath is remarkable. So also were Arjun Ganesh on the mrudhangam and Hariharasubramaniam on ghatam and the percussion team carried special applause for the excellent thani rendered. The audience only grew in number from the start to the finish and were very knowledgeable & appreciative.
