Dexterous sitar playing and deft tabla accompaniment. Kudos to Prof. Nikhil Banerjee and Pandit Kishen Maharaj.

Nothing and I believe nothing in this world will be equal to the sheer beauty, profoundness , peace and joy that the sitar of Nikhil Banerjee offers...Easily one of the greatest musicians of last century...Oh God why did u take him away at 54!

I saw him in Stuttgart Liederhalle,and i was out of Space.

Great Sitar playing supported by magical Tabla recital.A superb recording

17 years ago I saw Pandit Kishan Maharaj perform. It was astounding. He is missed and this performance with Pandit Nikhil Banerjee sees two of the greatest musicians of the classical Hindustani tradition combined. Genius, pure and simple.

India has given so much to the world--yoga, a beautiful concept of God, natural healing, and a culture displaying extraordinary music and dance in so many different styles and variations. This is only a glimpse of her greatness, and yet overwhelm us in such a powerful way. Nikhil Banerjee is Mother India at her very best!!

Allauddin Khan Saab's greatest sitar disciple!!

Fantastic ... immortal music ... India is blessed to have had such a musician as Pandit Nikhil Banerjee .....

I used to go to sleep to this piece of music everynight i know it off by heart puré mágica

Brings tears of joy and memories of Guruji and Nikhil Banerjee Ji every time I listen. Such purity and musicality. No gimmicks !

This was my very first record with Hindustani classical music. I cherish this invaluable LP.

Too much feelings. Oh my god. I can't control my tears. It goes deep in my heart. Nikhil ji and Kishan ji greeeeaat.

Very rich collection. To hear & learn the best compositions in rupak drut. Kishan maharaj is harmonic accompany.

had the grace to hear him in 82 if I do remember exactly ... in Paris yheatre de la Ville .. a great moment unforgotten for the deepness of expression ...Om shanti ...

the only great musician entered the planet earth given the purest music and returned to his planet

This is god talking to you, don´t cry, you should laugh my children, eat the umbrellas of the cows, be happy, dance, forever, just eat me, I´m the sacred umbrella, i´m you, enter yourself please. Be happy my children.

This is true Gayaki style . A perfection.

the best Music one can expect...!

Wow! Super music. Thanks for posting vvtipnis.

Nikhil Banerjee is the best Sitarist of Maihar Gharana. Beenkar Acharya Alauddin Khan Sahib taught him in the playing style of Nawab keramatullah Khan Sahib of Lucknow. Khan Sahib taught his adopted son Ravi in a different style.

dha dhin -- dha dha tin -- ta tin -- dhd dha dhin -- 14 beats. the gaps make it a confusing tal, especially this fast. in madya laya it's called deepchandi, and is popular in thumri songs. the first part is sitarkhani, but the first fast gat is in chachar tal. wonderful recording!!

Excellent. superb

The first taal is addha and second is dipchandi and third is drut teen taal

You are a true lover of Indian Classical Music. Thanks for sharing your story with us.

very much pleasant to listen.

sweet.. soooo sweet..

Superb

Amazing, from the heavens - that sound of naad.

this is GREAT music to surround ones' self with, while OilPainting!

All the raag is really amazing, but I love when the tabla begins at 5:18

Thanks Vaibhav for this beautiful collection .Carry on.

Sublime.

Did anybody else see a morbid car crash advertisement before this video??

this is sitar khani tal

then chachar tal ,first sitarkhani first sitarkhani tal then chachar tal

it's chachar tal (14), not drut roopak

اشطح :)

Sitarist nay!Musian par exellence.

The ad leading into this is so obnoxious, violent and out of place.

AND DON´T FORGET: don´t kill the cow. No cow no sacred umbrella. Yes meat yes deceases and flatulent destroyed stomach and intestine. The God lives in cow too ! Be happy !

Pure drug
