Pandit Nikhil Banerjee - Nikhil Banerjee
Review by Cynthia Gratzer
Nikhil Banerjee, an album by the legendary sitar player Pandit Nikhil Banerjee, is a mesmerizing and soul-stirring musical experience. The album features some of the most exquisite classical ragas, showcasing the maestro's virtuosity and mastery over the sitar.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful raga Ahir Bhairav, where Pandit Nikhil Banerjee weaves intricate patterns of melody, displaying his impeccable technique and sensitivity. The next track, raga Hem Behag, is a mellower and contemplative piece, where the sitar sings with a serene and meditative quality.
The album also features two shorter compositions, raga Mishra Kafi and raga Pilu, which showcase Pandit Nikhil Banerjee's versatility and range as a musician. In these compositions, he blends traditional Indian classical music with folk and popular elements, creating a unique and captivating sound.
