Fascinatingly profound ...clearly brought out the
intricacies and radiance of Veena music". - The Hindu. |
| " A
concert with character, exquisitely refined,
undeviatingly traditional and of unflagging
interest and pleasure". -
Statesman. |
| "
Her recital outshone in many aspects...One felt as
though one was listening to a philharmonic
orchestra". - Subbudu.
|
| "
Packed with short phrases and occasionally long
passages of a perfect amalgam to exquisite
gamakas, and exceptional conception, replete with
bhava and manodharma." - Indian
Express. |
| "...
Haunting music...". - Indian
Express. |
| "...Jayanthi's fertile imagination
and raga elaboration stands out for clarity..." -
The Hindu. |
".... For Jayanthi, it seems like
everything musical fuses into a mesh of polished
veena art..."
- Indian
Express. |
"You
name the best in music, it was there in right
proportion - the choice of kritis, stately and
dignified rendering, kalapramanam, punctilious,
refined gamakas, sahityabhava etc. Above all, it
was a downpour of appealing and moving ragas, one
after the other. At a time when Veena players, as
a tribe, are vanishing, it is a moment of great
gratification that young Jayanthi is filling up
the gap."
- Mahathi on her
Ravindra Bharathi concert. |

alap was soaked in honeyed softness and as she was

".....unlike many instrumentalists
who do not master the vocal aspect of great
compositions, Jayanthi seems to have learnt this
also as was evident from the illusion that she
created in the audience of hearing the lyrics
also.... I hear Jayanthi is from Lalgudi
hierarchy. That explains everything."
- Subbudu on one of her 1993 season
concerts. |
| "The
gifted young Vainika (Jayanthi) evoked an aura of
traditional serenity... Originality and obedience
to the canons of taste distinguish her playing
from the others'. To her, a slip-shod second best
is anathema...Divinity must indeed be at the
bottom of such gifted, impeccable playing with
such depth and creativity." -
K.S.Mahadevan on her Narada Gana Sabha
concert . |
| "Jayanthi's kalyani lent
distinction to the Carnatic gamaka school of Veena
display and thereby invited rapt attention from
the listeners. It was heritage music in as much as
she helped the listeners get in touch with the
sensitive sentiments of nada emanating from her
Veena" - SVK in The Hindu Jan 95
