" An Indian duo keeps the Théâtre des Abbesses enthralled…… One could hear the departing audience waxing lyrical about their subtlety and their gift for keeping listeners enthralled….The night opened with raga Marwa whose very long introduction (alap), forty-five heavenly minutes of leisurely delicacy, shone like a sparkling jewel in sound – not so much in the Théâtre des Abbesses as really out of this world."

" Heavenly Notes …………Adhikary’s mellifluous voice transverse over the three octaves while the sitar’s honeyed strokes were steeped in gayaki ang. The most enjoyable part was their perfect mutual understanding that flowed like the hidden yet intensifying undercurrent of Saraswati alongwith Ganga and Jamuna’s bi colour confluence…."

" Top Musicians for the festival…..Though they are classed as a duet, their interpretation of the music is such that they strive to arrive at a state where the two musicians are in harmony…..Through their playing the notes resonate and reflect the perfect understanding of their art, drawing upon deeply mythical symbols of nature and reality……even the essence of man and consideration of true nature of divinity. "

" The two youngsters were perfectly complementary to each other as they exploited the complexity of Desi......... "

"Heartwarming Sitar and Vocals jugalbandi by duo Samanwaya Sarkar and Debapriya Adhikary, the confluence of their expressions of music and perfect harmony left the listeners spellbound"

"The combination of Vocals and Sitar by Debapriya Adhikary and Samanwaya Sarkar in Raga Jayant Malhar alongwith Sanjoy Mukherjee on tabla was enjoyable. Their coordination and spontaneity was touching."
