My dear Chi. Sathyanarayanan:
Let me introduce myself as K.Desikan, who met your family this
evening at the car stand at Vani Mahal to congratulate your father
on his excellent compering of today's concert.

Though the concert was uniformly of a high standard,
my wife and I very much appreciated your delineation of the
raga 'Hamsanandi." Only stalwarts like Shri Seshagopalan do such elaborate
delineation of these ragas in their vocal concerts. This part of the
concert was therefore most enthralling. Also, the selection of songs,
and the appropriate comments by your father, and the accomplished
accompanying artists added lustre to the concert.
May God be with you in all your endeavours.
Yours affly,
K.Desikan

Here is a review of the above concert in Sakshi - a Telugu daily, Thanks to Mr Pradeep, a Tabla Artiste to have come forward and given it to us and translated the meaning.


Sincere thanks to Sri S. Suresh, a well wisher of Sathya who had sent the English translation which is as flws:


As part of the ongoing music season series,  vani mahal had organised a keyboard concert by Sathyanarayanan which made the listeners glued to their seats. Entering into the musical field at a very early age, who had earned laurels very fast is studying in 9th standard at the Padma Seshadri School. His musical gurus include starlwarts like vocalist Balamuralikrishna, violinist Kanyakumari, and mandolin srinivas. He had started playing the keyboard and learnt music from the very tender age of six had earned name and fame very soon from all the leading musicians. Beginning his concert with Ekadantham in the raga Bilahari in misra chapu talam kept the listeners sway to the melliflous music amidst the evening traffic hues. Paying obeisance to his gurus he rendered Pavana guru in the raga hamsanandhi set to  rupaka talam, had worn the hearts of all those gathered at Vani mahal. Next he rendered Chandram Bhaje, followed by Bhogindra Sayeenam in Kuntalavarali ragam. Next in adhi talam in raga narayani he played Ramaneve which had earned a huge applause by the crowd gathered there for having given a pure carnatic music on the keyboard with tradition blended in it. Upon the request of the listeners he next rendered Pankaja lochana in kalyani raga set to adhi tala, which had earned double applause from the audience present on the evening. Showing his gratitude to the listeners encouragement he next played Chandrasekhara in raga Sindhu bhairavi set to eka talam. Next he played and concluded his conert on the keyboard by playing a thillana in Paras raga and had won the hearts of all. Amidst earning huge laurels and thunderous applause, Sathyanarayan was accompanied by Ananthapadmanabhan on the violin, Sankaranarayanan on the mridangam and Harihara sharma on the ganjira. The concert was a feast to the ears of the listeners .
