Reviews
"[Translated from original Tamil] Their rendition...was full of depth and their presentation of the Chittaswaras phrases was very lively...both of them performed with a great deal of self-enjoyment and understanding, their soothing voices blending with perfect Shruti-Shuddham (fidelity of pitch)"
- Maalavikaa, Dinamalar
"The neraval...and the subsequent swara prasthAram alternating between the two brothers and the violinists were simply superb!"
-VS Ananthanarayanan, MACA Music Group
"An intense, energetic and vibrant Carnatic vocal rendition was the first offering, by a young, impeccably clad team of gentlemen."
-Neetha Raman, The Weekly Voice
"Their level of understanding could be felt in their performance in the Thyagaraja Vidwat Samajam. The brothers' comprehension speaks not of just their talent but their guru's ability to sharpen his disciples' skills."
-G. Swaminathan, Indian Express
