Free Music Notes for Shree Rag: Munich 1976
Free Music Review: An Afternoon Rag of Spiritual Surrender
Hit: 5 Stars
Owning several recordings of Shri Rag, a late afternoon raga, including performances by Ali Akbar Khan solo and in duet with Ravi Shankar, I assumed that a live concert recording of this raga played by Nikhil Banerjee would likewise be worthwhile. That proved to be an understatement. Of 78 minutes duration, half of which is in alap and jor development, the piece evokes the sleep-inducing heat of the day, a bit of sadness, a dollop of acquiescense, the sweet anticipation of the stillness and company of early evening. Accompanying Banjerjee on tabla is Swapan Chaudhuri, who was Ali Akbar Khan's main percussionist. Swapanji always seemed to me a mountain, stable and strong, who avoids showmanship and fully supports the solist with unerring rhythmic drive yet with clever innovation. The first gat section here is in jhaptal, a 10-beat rhythm; the concluding gat is 16-beat tintal. As for engineering, the microphone is very close to the instrument, and we hear every finger pluck and the vibration of the bass strings. Indeed, it is the early bass notes, approaching that of a surbahar (bass sitar), that create the feeling of late afternoon. Banerjee was a genius of the sitar, spiritually profound in his approach to the raga moods, as this recording demonstrates.
