What Critics say?
S.Karthick was especially striking for his approach to the
totality of the concert. He was never 'too much'. Yet he put
on his best, with tonal variations and appropriate rhythmic
patterns, which contributed effectively to every section of
the recital. With this sensitive quality so rare among percussionists
today, he can be a single out as the best all-round musician
of the festival, the man of the match so to speak.
- Statesman, Delhi, March-14, 1995
Some of the musical sounds Karthick produced from the Mud-Pot
were simply dazzling.
- Trinity Mirror, Feb.-7,1997
Played soft percussive patterns to enhance the mood of sublimity...thani
that followed was boisterous display of rhythmic energy....
- Indian Express, Dec-16, 1996
I must specially commend the admirable percussion support
by Karthick on Ghatam...anticipated every move...provided
complementary padding
- Subbudu, Indian Express, Dec-21, 1994
...The short tani-avarthanam has percentage perfection comparable
to Gavaskar's impenetrable defense.
- The Hindu, June-28, 1996
With a nimble mind and nimbler fingers, he should be able
to hold his own against any mridangam player.
- Sruti, Aug.1994
Feathery percussion movements... were lessons in restrained
sublimity.
- Indian Express Dec-15, 1996
To focus the attention of the rasikas towards the percussionists
and to help understand better the role-played by them in embellising
a concert.
