RHYTHM MUSIC MONTHLY, Vol. 2, No. 2
I play this CD a lot. The late Nikhil Banerjee never faltered,
in technique or taste; he was for decades (along with Vilayat
Khan and Ravi Shankar) one of India's top sitarists. This 1970
concert, with Kanai Dutta on tabla, makes it clear why Banerjee's
music was so esteemed. Deceptively simple at first hearing, his
playing combined a sweet tone with a grand and dignified conception.
These afternoon ragas are a joy; I'll still delight in them ten
years from now. Music: stellar; Recording: very good; Production:
very good.
