Ghatam Karthick a traditionalist and modernist and everything in between has been featured in numerous articles / features / interviews recently in various newspapers/ magazines / e-zines
S. Karthick was especially striking for his approach to the totality of the concert. He was never 'too much'. Yet he put on his best, with tonal variations and appropriate rhythmic patterns, which contributed effectively to every section of the recital. With this sensitive quality so rare among percussionists today, he can be single out as the best all-round musician of the festival, the man of the match so to speak. Statesman, Delhi, March-14, 1995.
