The alaap was extremely dangerous, Nikhilbabu was digging so deep, I thought my heart would be perforated through and through. Very close similarity with rabindrasangeet, that same melancholy, same nostalgia-filled evening descending on the seashore, the same wait for the unknown.
Listen to any sitar player, and then come back here and hear the first few notes, and your heart will open up, your intellect will stop, and the mind rests in the near perfect peace in this otherwise chaotic world sounds... Highest Namaskaars to this pure gift from this supreme master of the Sitar.
Those who were fortunate enough to have listened to Nikhil Babu in live performances would know that he very rarely chose a 'light' raga like Kafi or Pilu for a hour long conccert. His meditative and spiritual approach mostly led him to 'gambhir' ragas like Sree or Chandrakaush or Lalit. But even on very rare occasions when he used to take up these so called 'light' ragas, his approach was never amorous (as was the case with many instrumentalists) but that of a seeker of the mysterious beauty of the infinity that surrounds us.
Except to listen, I have no capacity to put any comment on recital of God of Sitar and Tabla too. Incredible, splendid. Bairan need na aaye, mora jiya ghabraye....by Lata ji in the film Jailor. ..

Shato shato pronam Pandit Nikhil Banerjee ke.Ato misty,boichitromoy bajna khub kom i shunechi
কোনো দেখনদারি নেই,শুধুই সেতারের মিষ্টি আওয়াজ,আর ওনার হাত,সত্যি অসাধারন
Nikhil Banerjee: the most sublime, the very sublimest of them all. To me nothing compares.
Just Beautiful❤, immortal divine tunes, Thank you
