Budhaditya, I am an old man --84, to be exact--- who has almost spent his life reading, teaching and listening to Hindusthani classical music from his boyhood days. I still fondly remember a splendid "Desh" you had played in late seventies at Rabindra Sadan, Kolkata .Your technical mastery over the Sitar was overwhelming and the long and cpmplicated "meends" were simply unbelievable. But then we also remembered Ustad Vilayat Khan's unforgettable "Desh" in the Sadarang Music Festival at Mahajati Sadan in the late fiftes ! But then you were a blooming rose,full of promise, running towards maturity. Today, you have made me forget all other Tilak Kamods I have heard so far. It is so soft, so touching ! I could not hold my tears. And what a surpriswe ! Never for a moment your mastery over the Sitar came to my mind. It preferred to remain hidden behind your fully blossomed musical sensibility. Go on playing Tilak Kamod once again if you like and bring more tears of feeling from the listeners.

No one can say more.

Soumen Nandy with Pandit ji is always an amazing pairing....they compliment each other so well.

Metallurgical engineer playing with metals... Truly awesome 👌

His fingers beckon to the stars And they in turn upon him gaze, in wonder! And from afar They dance And ponder Upon this blissful melody And, they like me, are in a trance But, still we dance, in joyful glee.

This is the ultimate in Tilak kamod. BM & SN you have taken the performance level to such heights that no one I repeat no one has ever reached this level and will not reach this level in future. Salute to both of you.

There is so much you can say about this two guys, one, is an absolute finger tapping artist at it's the very best and inline with the very best tabla player in my opinion and is above 3- notch than everyone else playing in this timeline, Sauman Nandi is always in absolute timeframe adjusted , just superb in his finger timing and face timing alighned with Budhaditya. Well what can I say about Budhaditya? a very gifted ranked one sitar player that is just in my opinion a player of heart and soule, I pray that both will live for long time for us to hear a wonderful play of music that is just out of this world, Tilak Kamod at it's vey best.

I was watching, and when it finished I logged in just to say this was MASTERFULL !!!!!! M A G I S T R A L ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Technique parfaitement incarnée dans l'art, l'art parfaitement manifesté dans la technique ! Et pour un MAÎTRE, seulement un autre MAÎTRE peut suivre ! Seuls deux virtuoses pouvaient éxécuter un tel concert !

Nandy is on fire! Two brilliant virtuosi combining to make the perfect realization of Tilak Kimod.

This is not just recital of tilak kamod at its best, but also the glimpse of very soft heart this great artist has! I never heard such tear inducing softness in tilak kamod.So is tabla ! God bless you.

Soumen Nandy plays Tabla with awesome control and clarity . Perhaps one of the best I've seen and that includes some of the greats such as Anindo and Zakir.

Whenever I hear sitar by Pt.Budhadiya Mukherjee I went to another world. Tilok Kamod my favourite raga.

We are at present 72 We feel v. Piec.full in mind, when we listen your SITAR. THANKS.

Pt Budhaditya Mukherjee's sitar is just Mesmerizing ...as always... CALM and composed disposition...totally engrosed into the heavenly realm of creation...not even the frequent eye-contact with tbe Tabla player... Tabla player's creativity is equally enchanting... Aum Shanti

Yes Kalyanda , I agree with you. Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee Sahab is true incarnation of Goddess Saraswati, I am a fan of Ustad vilayat khan, but Pandit Budhaditya Sahab is far ahead of all maestros, including ustad vilayat khan I may sound a bit too much of an admirer, but the truth is that Pandit Budhaditya Mukherjee Sahab is Na Bhooto, Na Bhavishyati.

It's because you don't know what's imagination and originality. PBM all performance is copy of UVK is accepted by himself. Now your opinion is your right.

0:45. The expressions on the face of the artiste at the onset only, reveal that he knows that he has "ZONED IN" and is going to create pure MAGIC in this session.

Somen played with me and I have heard Budhaditya live

Subhanallah

handsome man and beautiful music and style. I am a big fan of this video.

Very nice rendition of Tilok kamod with the flavour rag Desh.

extraordinary and soothing

Just sublime. Excellent👏♥️

A very matured sitarist and his sangat made the atmosphere very seren and enjoyable. Please carry on. Thank you very much.

Splendid performance. It has everlasting effects and enriches our souls. Regards

Mind-blowing & Splendid performance .

Kya Baat both of you. Kudos

Wonderful rendition,

Dear Pandit Ji, I do also like to you (as requested by Mr. Mohan Ram) that please play some unheard raagas which will be with us for ever. However, I am just wondering whether this is the same sitar that Panditji normally plays ? Somehow the tonal quality is little different. needless to mention that the flavour is again priceless. Soumen ji as usual complementary accompanist.

Excellent performance

beautiful

Amazing preparation.

Awesome !!!!

I bet so many Devata were surrounding him, listening to his art!

Pandithji,i need not repeat it often that ur renditions not only melodius,classic,torch bearing to sitar players etc..... But i have heard ur rendition of this rag in so many concert of yours. Why cant u play some un heard ragas in ur rendition like chayanat,kamod,kaunsi kanada and so on. however i express my sincere thanks to FEAC for uploading this which is another precious gem.

I have heard from musicians that it is better to cultivate a few ragas but go really deep into each raga, rather than trying to play many ragas at a surface level. Kishori Amonkar, for example, was famous for her rendition of Raga Bhupali which she had apparently taken to new heights not reached by others. So I think it is with Budhaditya-da, like other great musicians he tends to stick to a few selected ragas but then explores those ragas in-depth.

Buddha Aditya Mukherjee has a very good hand on sitar but he is lekin he is on Style and repeating almost the same phrase is every now and then without any experimental daring practicing only few Raag cannot make it more deep without taking risk to play something new that was habit of Ustad vilayat Khan and that's why he is most of the live performance where not so genius but it was full of novelty and Nikhil Banerjee Buddha Aditya Mukherjee Ravi Shankar and all other well known artist are performing very nicely in live program but they are repeating the same phrases every now and then without taking any risk of novelty so forget that Buddha Aditya can create any new Raag or he will play raag like Chhaya nut Kedar Kamod because they are very near to each other and it is very difficult to maintain its original character of each Raag.

Also very eager to know the name of this legendary tabla baadak,who made this session very mejaji.

He is kinda Brian Jones older

The tabla is quite bassy - but the sitar is sounding very shrill to my ear. Recording problem?

Very often it resembles desh rag. At 32.25 its very clear. I dont think this is Tilak Kamod.

@@trishaghosh4084 Actually it isn't that common by great artists. I wasn't being critical of the maestro, I am a huge fan and have seen him live many times and a couple of times when my own tabla tacher accompanied him many years ago. I was just making an observation.
