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

A masterpiece for all times. A music from paradise.

“A GRACE of The Infinite☝🏻 - To Have Heard Such a Wondrous Master of Sound… This is Musical PRANA…”

The greatest Sitariist of the century.

One of NB masterpieces. Am 94 and heard a lot from him and others.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Lucky, we listen to such Guru n feel Bliss!👏
