Pt. Nikhil Banerjee- Raga Lalit, Tabla- Pt. Shamta Prasd, Kolkata 1973

[@biswakotha]

আমি একজন সাধারণ শ্রোতা । সুরের ব্যাকরণ কিছুই বুঝি না । কিন্তু শ্রদ্ধেয় পন্ডিত নিখিল ব্যানার্জীর সেতার শুনলে আমি চোখ বুঝে এক অপূর্ব অনুভূতি অনুভৱ করি । মনে হয় এটাই স্বর্গীয় অনুভূতি । কোথায় যেন আমার দৈহিক অস্তিত্ব হারিয়ে যায় ।

Vintage Nikhil Banerjee. Soft, suave, delicate like the light of the dawn, caressing his strings with tenderness. No showbaazi, no frills, no audience- friendly sawal-jabab with tabla, no look-at-me trapeze with the sitar like some maestros. I also prefer this mat-finish, subdued Nikhilbabu than his glossier 80 avatar. The photo rightly depicts him.

I fully agree with the views expressed by Sri Ranjan Ghosal in his comment about Pandit Nikhil Banerjee. He was a worshipper of music and devoted himself sincerely throughout his life to that end. He always tried to play his Sitar in any public function for his own satisfaction and not for entertaining the audience. But the audience were never deprived also from their opportunity to hear the devotional music ,rarely heared from other contemporary professsional artistes of Sra Nikhil Banerjee.He was an exceptional genius.

Glad to see a fellow music lovers who shares views like this...which i feel is becoming lesser and lesser as days goes by.

Feels like having lived an entire life through this piece and born again, still listening to it....Truly mesmerising!

[@ranjitbhattacharji1360]

Taj Mahal banwana asaan hai, lekin Nikhil Babu ki Lalit jaisa Lalit bajana asaan nahi hai. Gudai maharaj ki tabla ki bhi koi jawab nahi.

[@gautamsen6423]

Alap and jor portion played by the maestro is always something like meditative. Nikhil Babu's seriousness enabled him to raise the level to such a great height which is something very special always and leave an impression on the minds of his audience .

[@sssnacksss]

such a great rendition. NB is the best- always so thoughtful and earnest. he is my favorite sitar player in the lower register- really takes his time and extracts nuance and atmosphere.

[@ranjitbhattacharji1360]

Nikhil babu ne Baja di hai ye hansi Lalit, Jise sunkar hum jiye ja rahe hain.

Divine.

[@tapanbhattacharyya]

Mesmerising. Only Pronam

[@debabrataghosh4066]

What a gem! All music lovers should be grateful as I am. And what is missing is a full length bilabal and Sarang. Have a brindavani but recorded poorly from audience hence badly resonating. Your mighty resources might help in getting some.

[@kiyoto123]

no doubt ,nikhil dha is in one of his tops here

[@unity1206]

Mr, Ranjan Kumar is absolutely correct.
