Reviews

"… the subdued on the Mridangam associated with appropriate “Gumkhis” with sollukatus spoke of the softness of laya supported by Mannargudi A. Easwaran. His masterly way produced sing-song rhythm and gave full support to the main artist…"
- Indian Express 1989

"… in Easwaran’s play one could discern an almost self-effacing involvement and his tani was tellingly short and percussively pertinent…"
- The Hindu 1995

"… Mannargudi Easwaran creates the impression all the time that he is a link between the main artiste and percussive melody. What is Kalpana, raga alapana and swara to a vocalist, is the tani avartanam to Easwaran. He is the one who realized that sugam in mridangam deepens as it advances from gross beats to subtle laya patterns…"
- The Hindu 1995

"… Mannargudi Easwaran’s accompaniment technique sparkles in full spontaneity of free self expression. Nothing he plays which has not the stamp of authenticity…"
- The Hindu 1995

"… Where Mannargudi Easwaran is the mridangist, there is always eloquent rich tonal brilliance. The rhythmic patterns for both kirtanas and swaraprastharas came out with vigour and firmness. The way he built the laya support enhanced many times the lyricism of kirtanas…"
- The Hindu 1999

"… The swarakalpana, following the song was like a jugalbandhi between Sanjay and Easwaran, which was enjoyed by the audience as much as the artists themselves. The tani by Easwaran was also vibrant…"
- The Hindu 2003

"Mannargudi Easwaran presented the percussive patterns, pricking the brain, in resplendent shades. His accompanying style was impressive not only because of its brilliance in laya but also because of the depth it fathomed."
- Friday, May 24, 2002 (Internet Source)

"Mannargudi Easwaran's mridangam support was in perfect harmony with the pallavi movements. His anticipatory articulation came with the authority of authentic vidwath. Rippling rhythm in incredible arrays was strewn all over the pallavi. The style of Easwaran's presentation apart, the rasikas could not overlook the felicity of his laya delineation. What crispness and tremendous force he imparted to the pallavi concert both while accompanying Lalgudi Krishnan and Lalgudi Vijayalakshmi and later in the tani with Ghatam vidwan T.V Vasan. As the main violin artiste, Easwaran also painted an enchanting picture of laya."
- The Hindu 1998
