The Observer of Business and Politics
A rare dragon that spits melody…… Suresh Kumar's playing is woven in with the sheer pleasure that music yields to him, adopting quite creditably the techniques of his guru (Mandolin U. Srinivas).
He reveals having got out of the groove of guru-ising, his style, a revelation that came to him after some experience; nevertheless, Suresh Kumar as an artiste has much of Srinivas drifting with his music.
The Times of India
The crumbs of 1994..... The year saw some noteworthy performances by young talents, too, such as ……….. Suresh Kumar (mandolin), disciple of U. Srinivas
The Times of India
A style of his own..... Any disciple of the maestro (U. Srinivas) will have to face comparison with his guru and more often than not found to be wanting, by the majority of rasikas. Yet, Suresh Kumar rose to the challenge and made his mark. While one can discern the distinct touches unique to the guru (U. Srinivas), the disciple has succeeded in stamping his own individuality to create a style of his own. Deft fingering technique, fluency and verve made for a pleasant recital
The Independent
Mad about music..... Strangely, Suresh Kumar's life is divided between two streams (music and corporate laws) which are so diverse that their confluence in one person might seem an impossibility.
Indian Express
Promising young talent.....Suresh Kumar has imbibed the fluid spontaneity over the mandolin from his mentor, U.Srinivas.
