1.
"Sankari Krishnan gave a vocal concert in the series of
SBM which deserved all praise. Good voice, classicism,
excellent choice, 'bhava', scholarship, creativity, poise
name the feature in a classical concert, it was there.
Blessed with keen aesthetic sense and profound creative
spirit, she valued every item she presented and held the
individual as well as the gathering with orderly elocution
and intensity of expectation. Right through, there was
a feeling for form and rhythm, precision and clarity,
proportion and order. Every item was given its due merit……."

2. "The
merit of Sankari Krishnan's vocal recital for Ramana Kendra
was that it compelled more than passive listening. Her
training under violin maestro Lalgudi Jayaraman has evidently
enabled this talented singer to feel and convey the thrill
of making new discoveries. Some delicate phrasings of
poorvikalyani and the exuberance and majesty of bharavi
were all conveyed in a sensitive, gamaka-laden voice,
obviously acquired through much practice…." K.S.MAHADEVAN

Krishnan gave a pleasing performance on the irresistible
theme 'Thithikum Tamilzhisai'. Her clarity of diction

Jayaraman, she did full justice to the raga bhava and
sahitya bhava….." B.RAMADEVI
