Free Music Review: To hear TRUE sitar playing, get this disc
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a recording from an Amsterdam concert in the early 70's that happened by chance. thankfully, it ocurred though and someone had the idea and the means to record it. This concert recording will go down as one of THE sitar recordings of this generation of players. Pandit Banerjee (who unfortunately is no longer living) was an incredibly unassuming man dedicated to his art. His passion for the sitar and unpretentious nature shine through in these recordings. In particular, the Khamaj-based piece is what enlightened me to the beauty of this music. Before I was only aware of Ravi Shankar, and I picked up a Pandit Banerjee disc by chance. Thankfully this was the case, because he is one of the masters, and in my opinion, the finest sitar player that has ever been recorded. His guru, Ustad Baba Allaudin Khan of the Maihar gharana taught Pt. Banerjee in a manner different than that of his other students (Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan to name a few!), and this difference is obvious. Nikhilji's tone and style is light years from (and in my opinion beyond) other sitarists. For a unique genius, pick up this CD. I know 70+ minute ragas is a lot to digest, but it will send your head spinning in its purity of sound.
