Best of Vishmadev Chatterjee, is a select compilation of some Hindusthani Classical Songs and Bengali Classical Songs of the legend. Vishmadev Chatterjee was the inhabitant of West Bengal. He was famous Bengali singer. Vishmadev Chatterjee had his initial training from Shri Nagendranath Datta. Later, Ustad Badal Khan of Sonipat adopted him as a disciple and took him away from his father to teach him music. He learnt from Ustad Badal Khan for 14 years. Many years later, Vishmadev Chatterjee was enticed by Ustad Faiyaz Khan on a Barwa composition and was asked to come to Baroda to become his gandbandh disciple. However, when he reached Baroda, not much happened by way of learning. Ustad Vishmadev Chatterjee of Bengal was a great genius who unfortunately was lost for many years to his spiritual pursuits in Pondicherry. But many of his recordings in 78 RPM are left behind. Another extraordinary thing about these 78rpm recordings of Vishmadev Chatterjee is that he is obviously playing the harmonium himself and thus rather than the usual delay in what is played by the harmonium player on these recordings it is exactly in sync with the singer.
The album Best of Vishmadev Chatterjee is a special compilation of some of the very popular Hindusthani Classical Songs and Bengali Classical Songs like Jodi Mone Pode, Pir Na Jaani and Harmonium - Mishra Kafi etc. This is a must listen for the Classical music lover.
