What a wonderful rendition. Salute to Nikhil Banerjee and Anindo Chatterjee. Both they perform extra ordinary.

🎵Very pleasant and energetic desh raaga !!!🎶 🕉️ 🙏😔Humble bow to Pandit Nikhil Banerjee ji 😔🙏🕉️🎼

Speechless. Cant find words to express the feelings. Koi kano main amrut ghol raha hai. I am in heaven.

Maybe this is the best recording of Desh ever recorded. The best on KZread I'm sure. Beautiful taans and gamakas. Splendid! He was THE BEST. This is Yoga, a special connection between him, his guru and God. All aligned through nature and the geometry of sound. RIP.

Wait. I have not listened to the whole piece but this sounds similar to this recording which only shows clips. But the tabla player in Pandit Mahapurush Mishra. But there's still a chance there might be some mistake or something. So can anyone tell me, are they the same recording or different but similar?

Nikhil Banerjee the most Versatile sitar wizard of all time.

Desh ki drut gat Pt Nikhil Banerjee ne aisi bajayi ke I am speechless. Pt Anindo ji ne bhi aisi sangat ki hai ki Pt Gudai Maharaj ki yaad dila di. Dono ko mera PRANAM. Agar yehi Sitar pe 4 no. ki Tar lagi hoti to aur bhi Behtarin Desh sun ne milta. Lekin wo jamane me 3 no Tar ka hi Prachar tha. Phir se ek bar dono kalakaron ko PRANAM.

Please check your facts. NB used 4 gauge for main string and got down to 3.5 after his second heart attack. He was the first to use it on Sitar

One of the most beautiful ragas I heard. Bravo Pandit Nikhil Banerjee and Pandit Anindo Chatterjee !!!

Ari Oliveira yes love good music

i do not have the audacity to try and compare legends such as Pt Ravi Shankarji, Ustad Vilayat Khansaab and Pt Nikhil Banerjee all three of them are great masters, in their own rights, yet, out of the three Nikhil Banerjee's playing has a soothing quality about it while both Vilayat Khansaab and Ravi Shankarji have always been more outgoing, more worldlywise and 'pushy' than Pt Banerjee the more serene Pt Banerjee has been in a class by himself, in my humble opinion

Yes . Long ago his Jaunpuri of Rag Mand purified me ; I would listen time and again .

Pt. Nikhil Banerjee is unparalleled for the soothing sound of the Sitar, peerless. While Pt. Ravi Shankar was unparalleled for the Dhrupad ang and Ud. Vilayat Khan was for the gayaki style. Sound quality, the impact of the sound goes to Nikhil Banerjee.

Thank you for this gift!.

He was so much better than the more successful and popular ravi shankar who simply did not have the technique for sapat taankari. it is surprising that they both learnt with allaudin khan, and yet of the two it was Nikhil bannerji who learnt to play the sitar correctly and much better. NB was also greatly influenced by Vilayat Khan. in this compostion in Desh, he is playing the bandish and tanas of the imdad khani gharana. What a wonderful rendering of Desh.

I think it is unfair to compare two great maestros. Because one tends to apply parameters those one likes. But indian classical is caladioscope. If you are RASIK open to all , if you are artist follow the one you like most.

Anzay Warid Ji, comparison between two exponents of an instrument is best engaged by those who are seeking attention from other listeners. So let me congratulate you on that count, as you have succeeded in that. Now coming to the two artistes, Pandit Nikhil Banerjee and Pandit Ravishankar are both stars in their own right. With much pity I must say that You have failed to enjoy the music of Ravi shankar. I can suggest you of ways to do so, you can start with following his musical phrases (if you follow the technicalities that is) while sticking to the raag structure completely. If you want to listen to his sapaat taankari then go back to his recordings pre 1965. But then sapaat taankari is not everything in a rendition. There is much more. And that much more is there in Panditji's laykaari, use of different Baaj, and most importantly, the way he used to treat each raag by its different moods - he never rendered two raagas in the same way. Who else could do the same?! So, let's just listen to these great musicians and enjoy or learn (if the listener is a musician too) instead of trying to attract attention. What say you??

Mind soothing rendition

Among Ravi Sankarji,Vilayet Khan Sahib and Pt Banarjee I always think Pt Banarjee was much better. Unfortunately due to his lack of showmanship he failed to receive proper recognition.

@writabratamukherjee3941

Very unfortunate...but I think showmanship is little bit necessary...Ravi Shankar didn't earn that at very early stages of his carrier...but soon he realised the necessity, that is why we got so many recordings of him and interviews....but unfortunately there are very few recordings of a legendary maestro like Nikhil Banerjee ! his non-recognition doesn't pain me but the lesser opportunity to know his music makes me worried .

Writabrata Mukherjee Nikhilda is more heard and appreciated by true music lovers. Ravishankar is infact disliked due to his superficiality of renditions. Had Nikhilda was a bit shrewd, we would not have his legacy of extraordinary depth and तन्मयता of his music. Also there are innumerable renditions, live recordings of him were published posthumously. Thank God for let Nikhilda keep him the way he was. thanks

So sad that till date I didn't get a good biography on Panditji. The Bengali one - Taar chire geche Kobe, is a subpar book compared to RagAnurag or Komal Gandhar , both of other two great maestros. This really irks me. We want to know more about his concerts, his life, his music. He was a saint after all.

When I hear Nikhil Banerjee play, I think of what the late American Jazz Pianist Bill Evans once so eloquently stated, "There is a Japanese visual art in which the artist is forced to be spontaneous. He must paint on a thin stretched parchment with a special brush and black water paint in such a way that an unnatural or interrupted stroke will destroy the line or break through the parchment. Erasures or changes are impossible. These artists must practice a particular discipline, that of allowing the idea to express itself in communication with their hands in such a direct way that deliberation cannot interfere. The resulting pictures lack the complex composition and textures of ordinary painting, but it is said that those who see will find something captured that escapes explanation."

Very nice
