Beautiful!.......2004-04-03

A beautiful performance of a beautiful but little-known raga, Surdasi Malhar. Pandit Nikhil Banerjee's 70-minute rendition is very lyrical and elegant, with thrilling accompaniment by tabla player Abhijit Banerjee. The sound is superb, one of the best live concert recordings I've heard. It's as if the musicians were sitting in your living room.

If you are a fan of Banerjee, you will want this: it's one of his very best recordings. If you have never heard this great artist before, this is an excellent place to start.

Unique and Marvelous Nikhil Banerjee.......2003-10-27

When Baba Allauddin Khansahep, the "Great Guru" of Music, accepted Nikhil Banerjee as a disciple, he told his young student "I will teach you in a different way" thus Nikhil Banerjee's unique style. Baba Allauddin Khan (1862-1972) is said to be the greatest musician of his time, unfortunately few recording of his survived ( 1959-60 All India Radio recordings which are available on Ali Akbar College of Music's site www.aacm.org , archival material, poor sound quality ), however Baba had produced lots of great musicians including Ali Akbar Khan(his son), Annapurna Devi(his daughter), Ravi Shankar, Timir Baran, V.G.Jog..... all the descendants of Maihar Gharana, the scool of music established by Baba. Teaching was an another kind of art in Baba's hands and his last and top most product tells : Nikhil Banerjee.

In this recording master Nikhil Banerjee plays Raga Surdasi Malhar. Surdas is an ancient Indian poet and Malhar is a common form of raga for rainy seasons. Another superb performance by Nikhil Banerjee.

Beautiful Sitar..........2003-09-04

Surdasi Malhar is a Raga which few people play. In this recording, Nikhil Banerjee uses his unique style to play it. The performance is full of beautiful and elegant musical phrases. Great! Indian Classical music lovers should pay attention to this master of Sitar, especially those who are only familiar with Ravi Shankar.
