It was indeed a concert with the blessings of two of most senior critics who were there to see Sathya performing on the 8th Dec'07. Sathya was performing with same ease as he use to perform normally and this is one of his reason for success. He started off with Mallari and had a good presentation of kalpanaswara in Hamsadwani. Then he performed Diwakarathanujam - a navagraha krithi of Dikshidhar which was indeed appreciated by few rasikas who had listened to him during his earlier performance of the same krithi. They also informed that they could see a great improvement on the performance this time.The raga alapana for Banthuvarali for Visalakshi was well supported by Raghuraman on violin and also gave his best during his turn. MadavaMamava on Neelabari actually made few people sleep as the timing was also that helped the few available audience to get to a quick nap.
The elaborate alapana on Karaharapriya was followed by good Niraval and Kalapanaswara presentation. Suryanarayanan on mrudhangam was of great support throughout the concert and gave a good thani. He is one of the mrudhangist who performs to the best comfort level of the main artist without disturbing their mood and patterns. Sathya finished the concert with a SindhuBhairavi krithi and had the appreciation of the two good critics of Chennai who were talking to him and giving tips for a long time after the concert. This will sure be of great use to Sathya and hope he gets more and more directions from people like them.
