From the television broadcast on the San Francisco public television station KQED. I was always told this was from 1968 but apparently it was recorded on 20 September 1967. Some supporting documents suggested it was 1968.
Video begins with introduction and short tabla solo. Raga soon follows.

“We haven’t experienced the ‘Divinity’, but through the beautiful rendering of the ‘Sitar’ play we experienced divinity. I mean that so much of divinity we experienced by ‘Nikhil Bannerjee’ through his Sitar play. I feel that way. Greetings aplenty to him. I lived in IIT, Kharagpur Campus near his EFR Quarters and during evenings and nights I am fortunate to hear his sitar practice sessions at his home. (Quarters). In the calm atmosphere the sounds of his ‘Sitar’ play will reach our ears since he also lived near our EFR Quarters and with me that Sardarjee Mr. Gurcharan Singh lived with his family including his cow and calf. Those are beautiful reminiscences to me.” - “M.K.Subramanian.”

Again I am asking people to tell the person who copied my post of this video recording and shared it on youtube as his own to take it down. He gave no credit to me who spent an enormous effort and money to not only locate, but to have this precious and rare footage preserved digitally so that it could then be shared with the world. When I asked him to take his post down he was very hostile towards me and he deleted my request from his comments page. In the spirit of and out of respect to Pandit Nikhil Banerjee he should not be doing this. Thank you for your help and understanding. Steven

I was really looking for this wonderful performance of these two artists. It is unfortunate that Mohapurush left this world in very early-stage,and we missed him ..... Thanks for uploading....

Like his GURU Lt. Pt.Anokhelal ji Pt.Mahapurush Mishra was not only a phenomenal artist but a Good soul. His sense of humour, way of talking, behavior, as a teacher to his students were all a class to be remembered. My GURU ji Late Pt. Kanai Dutta and Ustad Keramatulla Khan Sahib were the great admirers of Pt.Mahapurush Mishra.

The cameraman of course didn't understand how to focus from the front so we could have a full frontal view of the performing artists. He has used all kinds of frustrating angles except let us watch in peace. Bannerji was a very sincere Sitarist

"If God had played sitar ,He would played with Nikhils hand" -je suis entièrement d'accord avec ce commentaire : si Dieu jouait du sitar, il jouerait avec les mains de Nikhil Banerjee

Congrats from KOLKATA. You have nicely coupled your Views on these Supra-mental Artists. Tabla, the "Mithas Benarasi", Sitar, the solemn " Maihar Gharana" - mixed together, make a heaven.

The sound of the strings of Mr.Nikhil Banerjee is unique. It is pertinent to mention that since listening sitar through radio almost all recordings are of this legend. His devotion towards sitar has given me pleasure to feel utmost.

Desh was adopted into our Carnatic music traditions. One not too popular composer called 'vaggeyakara' in Carnatic music circles Tanjavur Late Shri Shankara Iyer wrote a beautiful Desh raga song in praise of Lord Srirama that became popular. Desh has that patriotic sound as it pertains to the notion of Desh-hood, an India of all types of Indians who speak at least nationally accepted 21 full-fledged languages and countless local dialects. Huge country untied in one Indianness -- Desh raga sends that unifying message. Rainy raga with sprays of sadness as mentioned by that delightful American host of this San Fransisco recital[I live not too far from San Fransisco these days]. This is indeed a moving raga; Banerjee is brilliant at the alap[In S India it is "aalapana"] part; wait until he plays the song with tabla accompaniment. P P N Kanthikumar
