Pt. Nikhil Banerjee - Raga Ahir Bhairab # 2, Tabla - Pt. Swapan Choudhury,Kolkata 1976

[@srd231233]

Pt. Nikhil Banerjee is to my mind the purest Sitar player. The divinity that floats from his music is unparalleled. Since he wasn't a showman, other names circulated in the music world in India and abroad as representing the best in Indian Classical music. To my mind he was the real purist, not trying to cater to western audience. I am blessed that he selected Sitar from Calcutta for me. This perticular rendition of a most pansive melodious raag is one of his best

আহা অসাধারণ বড় তাড়াতাড়ি চলে গেলেন। আরো কত কিছু পেতাম। কী অনবদ্য নিবেদন।

[@amalendusekharpatri5653]

A masterpiece for all times. A music from paradise.

[@kariaudar]

This whole performance is just an astonishing work of art. Nikhil Banerjee has to be the greatest classical sitarist of all times!

[@ilovemahler8348]

This Ahir Bhairav is a tremendous addition to the NB archive. The way he constructs the Bhairav ang in the alap is unbelievable. Classically constrained yet aesthetically free--the signature of the highest form of art. Thanks much.

[@gonzaloabril9737]

yes. its pure genius.... really the closest to perfection only achieved by the genius of Pt.ji...

[@sanjaychatterjee8010]

Unmatched recitals--- Pranam to Pandit Nikhil ji & Pandit Swapan ji.

[@barunghosh9660]

Thanks to subrataji. What a divine presentation. Pranam nikhilda wherever you are. This generation please listen

[@sssnacksss]

always the best. i chose sitar as my instrument of study many years ago, yet nowadays i find less pleasure in listening to it. Banerjee always does it “right” in my opinion…a very sincere musician, always trying go dig farther. so melodic and tasteful, yet superb technique. GOAT

[@1304RB]

Yet another masterpiece from Nikhil B. Music from and of soul as always. No gimmics, no sare egara matre ki tal. Simply a touch of heaven.

[@jhapad1]

who on earth told you that saade gyaraah maatre ki taal is gimmicks? talk sense on public platforms. Yes this recording and Nikhil da are divine. but people who play such complex taals can also make divine music.

[@navoprokash]

Wonderfully put. 👍

[@vijaypendse1359]

when ever u hear there is always something new to hear and learn from pt ji sitar,puriety of rag, clear stroking and fast tans, superb

This is pandit nikhil banerji s Style to mismerising soul . I am the earnest followers of him .music is heaven like feeling . thanks to subrata c

[@chiraranjanbakshi3877]

Such a talent left the world of music so Quickly and the vacancy shall remain unfulfilled perhaps for a long, only time will tell ! His style is an indept journey into the Soul, most absorbing.

[@deepranjanghosh1851]

@@chiraranjanbakshi3877 The impact he left on the music world as well as next generation sitarists is huge. Many star musicians who lived more than 80 years failed to do that

[@jhapad1]

One of the most soulful and masterly renderings of the raag ever ....divine touch

Beautiful . An artist shadowed by Ravishankar and vilayet

[@shyamalchatterjee1707]

The greatest Sitariist of the century.

[@1304RB]

Thanks to Subrata Choudhury for uploading and superb recording quality. What about a Lalit in same quality. One that I have from Dover Lane with Zakir on tabla is big but poor recording disables enjoyable listening. Another one from a commercial co is a disservice to this great artist as recorded in a thin cheap disc sounding like a tin can!

কোনো দেখনদারি নেই,তাই সেতারের আওয়াজ পাওয়া যায়।তথাকথিত বিশাল শিল্পীদের শুধু মেটালিক টোন পাই,তাই শুনতে ভাল লাগে না।

যার বাজনা শুনে মানুষ এমনিই মোহিত হয়ে যায় তার দরকারই বা কি দেখনদারি করার 😊

[@sd19862008]

উনি তো দেখছি জোরে জোরে ডান হাত দিয়ে স্ট্রিং টানার আওয়াজ করতেন না যেটা বর্তমান শিল্পী রা করেন......, তাও আমার মতো অজ্ঞানী শ্রোতাদের ওনার সুরই স্বর্গীয় বোধ হয়..... অজ্ঞানতা ক্ষমা করবেন।
