It is indeed a milestone concert for Sathya as this was first official Live concert being recorded by a premium Music Recording company - HMV SaReGaMA. This concert is to be released by SaReGama as a "live concert series of Dec'07" which features many great artists with few upcoming. The team of B. Ananthakrishnan on the violin, Trivandrum Balaji on Mrudhangam, Valangaiman HariharaSubramaniam on Ghatam and T. Krishnababu on Thalam (first time probably this name will feature in the audio wrapper as thalam artist) gave a concert which was indeed a rasikas delight. The quality of sound and the ambience enhanced the entire concert.
Sathya started with a varnam in ragam Amruthavrshini composed by Kotivakkam Sri Seshadri and touched on the kalpanaswaram as a sample to follow during the other krithis. Varanam with sahithyam "Vigneswaram Baje", Sathya went on to salute the gurus with the krithi "Guruleka" on Gowrimanohari with alapana and swaram. With a elaborate saveri alapana Muruga Muruga was rendered which was followed by a Thirupavai on ragam Anandha Bhairavi. Sathya played China Natana on kalanidhi which was on sowkya kalapramanam followed by Sri Parthasarathy on Suddha Dhanyasi set to rupaka thalam. This brought in the mood to get on to the main krithi on Begada - Kamakshi Nathao of Shyama Sastri. The detailed alapana probably will have a new discussion coming up as Begada is one of the ragas which is defined as one not possible to be performed on Keyboard. Sathya was his usual best on this and gave a good expression of his musical thoughts and mathematical calculation thoughout the kalpanaswaram sections.
Special mention is to be made on B. Ananthakrishnan who was at his best throughout and was giving "tit for tat" for Sathya during the kalpanaswarams which was interesting or the audience. Trivandrum Balaji on mrudhangam took the concert to a higher level of enjoyment with his great patterns and he was well supported by HariharaSubramaniam on ghatam. The two gave a short but good thani and he team at the end had given a concert to the satisfaction of themselves, audience and the recording company.
Sathya performed a bhajan and rounded of this concert performance with a thillana composed on ragam Sindhubhairavi. This is a thillana composed by Kalaimamani Kum. A. Kanyakumari which was well received by the rasikas. Thanks to SaReGaMa for having recognised and well wishers are requested to buy original cds and listen to it.
