Nikhil Banerjee sitar LIVE Madras 1964: Ragas Kaushi Kanada, Bhairavi

Description: Padmabhushan Nikhil Banerjee (1931-1985) was one of the finest sitarists of his time. His music earned deep respect among India's classical music connoisseurs as well as gaining him a devoted international following. He was the disciple of the two greatest forces in 20th century Indian classical music, Padmavibhushan Allauddin Khan and his son Ustad Ali Akbar Khan. Though he recorded a number of LPs, few were of live concerts, in which his leisurely, majestic raga development was unsurpassed. Mr. Banerjee disliked being recorded, feeling that the process distracted and somewhat compromised the inner meditative quality of his music, so high-fidelity live recordings are rare. Raga Records has released a series of live concert recordings to help preserve Mr. Banerjee's legacy; other Raga releases have articles by and about and interviews with Mr. Banerjee. The texts are available online at www.raga.com. Prem Vallabh (1918-c.1970s) is remembered both as a table player who learned from Ahmedjan Thirakwa, and a pakhawaj player of the Kudau Singh tradition. He was employed as a tabla player at All-India Radio, New Delhi and was frequently chosen to accompany India's leading musicians on the weekly National Program radio broadcasts.
