It was indeed a trend setter concert for Sathya teaming up with a Nadaswaram artiste for a full length classical concert! It was clear from the thought of this combo that he will be walking on tight rope in terms of presenting the nuances of Carnatic music for the fact he was playing alongside an instrument which is accepted as the Raja Vadhyam to produce the best of the nuances in our music tradition. Es both past and present great vidwans and vidhushis has mentioned and accepted this fact and it was a litmus test indeed for both the instrument – Keyboard and Sathya to produce their best.
Being Independence day the concert started off with Aduvome Palli Paduvome bring the mood of India on the very same day in the year 1947! Pancharathna Mallari was performed with short raga alapana of the ragas involved. Bhairavi swarajathi was taken up and as the duration of the concert was reduced to 95 mts as the concert started a little late due to technical reasons the team decided to expand same with kalpanaswaram followed by short thani. Both R. Sankaranarayanan on Mrudhangam and Trichy Krishna on Ghatam enhanced the melodic instruments to present a concert to the best satisfaction of all present.
Here is the link of the audio and video clippings and I leave it to the individuals to conclude on the percentage of success achieved by Sathya. It will be nice if one can forward his / her opinion to us so that Sathya can do his best in future. Thanks to Hamsavinodhini to have accepted to make this new combo of instruments and hope this will have a wider acceptance in future. The ambience at Sri Kasi Viswanathar Temple in West Mambalam was indeed good and we all can look forward to listen to more and more concerts happening in time to come.
