It was for the first time Sathya was performing at Sri Sidhivinayagar Mahalakshmi Temple in Srinagar Colony, Saidapet, Chennai and started off with black out due to no power supply. When the power was restored the audience who showed patience and the artists got energetic and the team of Sathya with Devanathan on Violin, M.R. Srikrishnan on Mrudhangam and Hariharasubramanian on Ghatam & morsing gave a good performance as per the song list below.
Mr Srinivasan, Secretary, Srinagar Colony Sathsangam gave an on the spot review of the concert after the thani on the krithi Vinayakuni on Madhyamavathi and i give below his impressions which was as follows:
"Sathya gave an excellent exhibition of handling the western instrument to bring out the nuances of our Carntic music and special mention is to be made for the raga alapana of Mohanam, Begada and Madhyamavathi. His kalpanaswaras and his krithi rendention were equally good. However when going on the higher octave i found the gamakas missing and it could be due to various reasons. I would like Sathya to explore more in this area and keep learning more & more krithis, do sadhagam and i am sure as he matures by age his music also will keep developing. As it is what he presented is beyond ones imagination considering his age. I wish him all the very best to get to greater recognition for him.
Devanathan on violin is indeed a great prospect for the future. His alapana rendering of Mohanam was of real high quality. Special mention for the way he took up with Sathya in the ragamalika kalpanaswara on Kalyani and Charukesi with Madhyamavathi and they gave a real treat to all of us. While he did show few deviation in Begada, i am sure he will become a star in the future.
M.R. Srikrishnan's Mrudhangam was indeed superb and is clear that he has done "asura Sadhagam" which his evident in his performance today. The thrikalam he performed on the aruthi with command was the proof of his hard work. I only suggest that if he can be little more softer in certain areas mainly during the krithis it would be even more ideal.
Hariharasubramanian was excellent in his following the Mrudhangam artist on Ghatam and his efforts on Morsing is also appreciated. Both of them gave us a good thani and i bless the artists on stage for a great future."
Mrs Shanthi Gopalakrishan, a rasika who was one of the almost entire audience who stayed back wrote her comments in Sathya diary which says"We were all emotionally touched. 7th std student performing like this - 100 million dollar Question!!!
