Nikhil Banerjee was younger than Ravi Shankar by more than 15 years and his life span was half of Mr. Shankar. Yet in that short a time he took this instrument to a level underachieved by his predecessor - as this beautiful rendition exemplifies.
Two years before Pandit Nikhil Banerjee's death he performed a program with Pandit Zakir Hussain in DSP durgapur. He was accomodated in Durgapur MAMC guest house for his rest. I was at that time 27 years old and was an employee of MAMC. On program day morning I could manage to sit for about one hour with panditji where I talked with him and could watch him in "reyaz". Before leaving the room I made a "pranam'. Most memorable day in my life till now. Year was most probably 1979 or 1980.
Many people's opinion that Nikhil Banerjee was no1 sitarist in this world .
no other can perfrom Rag malkauns in such styles , no, any one only Nikhil Banerjee the great
The fact that some people cannot appreciate nb's music without bring down or badmouthing his guru bhai and another maestro RS , is a great disrespect and disservice to his music n icm in general .
Easily the finest ever sitarist the musical world has ever seen
I can feel the time after midnight
This is the sweetest malkauns I have ever felt. The thoughts about malkauns is so rich and precious that nobody can go nearby. Seems like reached in the another world.
Listen to others and come back to this rendition again.. This is Pinnacle. 24.00 to 24.40... Possible only when completely in trance. When God himself enters human body...
I think the instrument made for him by Hiren was of a very special relationship. It allows for extensive meend work and retains its tune and even continuity and with such an attractive tone it is almost addictive. It is probably the highest point in Sitar and will take something very special to be surpassed.
Such a devotional raga, when you hear this at midnight - and you meditate on pandit's music you can feel your spirit embracing you, this purest of the pure music filling your ears - this music cannot be explained it has to be experienced, and those who experience the fullest of this music are the ones who reach a greater level.
Pandit ji was our family relative.
My favourite raga Malcauns playing by my favourite sitarist Nikhil Banerjee. Wonderful.
Indian classical music is the music of the gods. :)
Listening to him is like sinking into deep meditation and getting wrapped in serenity.The soul is roused in harmony with peace and silence.
One of the great ragas of all time played by one of the great musicians of all time!
আমি যখনই এই রাগ শুনি এক অন্য জগতে চলে যাই...সমস্ত জগৎ মিথ্যা বোধ হয়....এক নিবিড় স্বর্গীয় আধ্যাত্মিক অনুভুতি তে চিত্ত ভরে উঠে...সাধু সাধু......অপূর্ব অপূর্ব....... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
divinity at it's purest....nobody, repeat nobody could cajole the sitar to sound the way it did..he and his sitar were ONE !!!
I just can't get enough of the Alaap.. The slightest of touches it starts with and you don't even know when in turns in to a wave
U can literally feel the Ishwar each and everywhere ... Every thing is Supreme Atman.ParamBrahman.
