both at home and abroad as seen from the numerous eulogistic media reports. Her performances have been praised not only for
pure classicism and virtuosity of play but also for aesthetic and captivating rendition of raga, kriti and swara
. ....Yet another Garland, T.P Rajagopalan
“This
evening must rate as one of the best musical experiences of my life…the flash of eyes, hand signals and body gestures
between the players heighten expectancy. The intricate weaving the melody, rhythm and tonal colour against the deep resonance
of the bass strings and elevates the inner ear. A world of sound encompasses the air, layer upon layer of melodic invention
swirls around and quite literally fills one’s being…an hour and a half seemed like ten minutes.”.....Malcolm Baldwin, British columnist on Shanti's
veena perfomance in U.K
