“Sounak’s rendition of Raga Puriya Dhanashree was a beautiful experience”. – Anandabazar Patrika


“Sounak started with Raga Multani. This difficult Raga was treated with dexterity and Sounak sang the Vilambit and Drut khayals keeping the intrinsic mood of the Raga intact. The swar-uchchar was accurate and the note combinations of the taan-sargams were exceptional.” – Anandabazar Patrika.


“It was a UK debut for Sounak Chatterjee of Kolkata and what a debut it was! It was a performance worthy of a singer twice his age. We are proud to have him for his first concert outside India. Sounak performed the evening melody Raga “Yaman”. His rendition of the ‘Raga’ was of the highest order, expressive, penetrating and active in intonation and dazzling in rhythm. The concluding item of the evening was a short composition on the Raga ‘Basant’ (spring melody). The whole piece was even more marvellously crafted, aesthetically realised and gracefully formal.” - Sur Sangbad : News bulletin from Surdhwani. (UK)

The Times of India (Kolkata)


… Sounak Chattopadhyay presented short Khayal bandishes in Ragas Megh and Gaud Malhar. His renditions amply bear nuances of his taalim (training). The vilambit Khayal particularly was extremely well sung…. Desh Patrika
