San Francisco Chronicle on Nikhil Banerjee
"Banerjee's technique is a phenomenon,
faster than cheetahs, more secure than the dollar. But he does
not lean on that as most players do. It is there, at the ready,
a strength to be called on when needed. It is his gentle playing
that is so singular. The ease of it, highlighted by atypical (for
Indian music) bits of literal reiteration create a kind of euphoric
effect. The result is remarkably individual. One could spot a
Banerjee performance on a radio broadcast or tape, a thing of
great difficulty among Oriental musicians."
