Nikhil Banerjee was among the greatest musicians showing to the world what is in the deep soul and heart of India... In Senegal we are so fascinated by Indian culture
@@reubenlouismusic ..Senegal and Mali jointly represent one of the most musically rich parts of the earth. Great to get acknowledgements from Senegal for our masters
Ever since I was a teenager I listened to music from China, Japan, India... There is something so profoundly beautifull in all Eastern music... But Indian music Always has remained the music I love the best... Still at 54... True beauty!!!
+Lieven Van Paemel : I agree. I have also had my journey in many genres of music- Jazz, Western Classical, Celtic, Turkish etc. But nothing compared to the sublime experience of listening to Hindustani music. There is something intensely spiritual about it. Nikhil Banerjee is without a shadow of doubt the greatest sitarist of last century. His renditions have ethereal quality.
Basically Indian classic music was purely devotional and was kind of expression of love and devotion to god. Now..who ever plays now with the same feeling will have lasting effects on souls. without this it will become Bollywood music.
The bucolic touch, tinged with melancholy of this lament causes an abyssal diving movement in my unconscious so that I end up feeling apathy before the problems, not as an escape, but as an exercise in self-knowledge 🤠
Absolutely heavenly... nikhilda the great. So sad that after mastering sitar and gaining genius status.... He left so early. Can't imagine how much we would have been blessed if he would have lived another 20 years.
Raga Bhairavi is often referred to as the king of morning Ragas. It produces a rich atmosphere. The Rishabh and Dhaivat used here are oscillating which is strongly recommended in this Raga and it makes the Raag mood intense. Rishabh and Pancham are occasionally skipped in Aaroh like: S G m d P or G m d N S'. But in Avroh, Rishabh and Pancham are Deergh like S' N d P or P m G m r r S. In Avroh, Gandhar is skipped like: G m r S. Madhyam is an important note. Arohama: Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa' Avarohana : Sa' Ni Dha Pa Ma Ga Re Sa Vadi:Ma Samavadi: Sa
No one but NB can play (or sing for that matter) that drut bandish one hears in this performance at this level of transcendent perfection and musical creativity. No one...
+I Love Mahler Yes, another NB recording (Raag Sindhura and Adana-- sadly no longer on YT) has a magical drut bandish. Can just start dancing. This is my second favorite NB recording.
He is a wonderful representation of what human genius can produce when put under discipline. No words to explain, i am just mesmerized everytime i listen to this magic played by him.
This is pure bliss and meditation....the most purest form of ssound i have ever experienceesd in life...I pray to god that this moment stays here forever and doesnt not cease to exist
What a purity of thoughts, feelings , emotions all blending into this beautiful music from panditji's sitar...................transcends space and time ..............!!
Absolutely beautiful, deeply appealing and phenomenally subtle in emotional content, this presentation of Raga Bhairavi by this greatest player of the Sitar. With his offering, the sitar disappears and the music continues eternally. Thank you for this.
Its magic. I was in heaven for 54 minutes. Thanks for the upload. BTW Can you please tell me the name of the Artist of these beautiful paintings you used in your presentation?
+Nicholas McGill : Lleisurely, half mournful and half serene, with the special sadness of the human voice, the notes of Raga Bhairavi make it one of the most heavenly and endearing of all ragas. A raga that can even melt mountains of snow. So fanatically loved and widely embraced is Raga Bhairavi that its elemental imprint is firmly fixed in the mind of even the untutored listener.
is there any other stringed instruments in this like a Tanpura? It isn't noted so I wanted to know if everything I am hearing is from the sitar or if the drone is from something else.
Who's the table player?? Gharana? Such a clean right hand and unbelievable baya too! Also, the source of the visuals, please? This video is a complete package !!! Thank you!
May be a biased opinion but I feel... Genius Ravi Shankarji was more commercial and played to the gallery... While genius Nikhilda had an extra divine feel to his rendition....
@@sudhakariyer14 Nikhil Banerjee was a wonder to shine in his own right with two stars already shining bright in the sky at the same time - Pandit Ravi Shankar and Ustad Vilayat Khan. This makes Nikhil Kaka a wonder musician. However, each one of them were genius and were unparalleled in their own styles. "Baaj" refers to the work of the right hand, mainly of the strokes. Ravi Shanker had a right hand that all maestros wished for but no one had and in Annapurna Devi's words he had the best right and left had balance.

This is a gift from god to humanity on earth!
No one, I repeat no one can come close to Pandit Nikhil Banerjee. God took him too early.
This is not Nikhil Banerjee the man playing this music, it is his soul - sublime....profoundly sublime.
Wow

Magical finger.Hearing Vairabi pouring from his fingers the Sun,I think, becomes anxious to come out of eastern horizon a bit earlier.
Pandit Nikhil Banerjee and Ustad Vilayat Khan are true masters of Bhairavi.
Transcendental music.

Imagine sun is just rising in the east in early morning and Nikhil da is welcoming a new day with his eternal music on sitar in Bhairavi raag
That's an excellent picture to visualise sir.

A great analogy to visualise

This is from the album 'Morning Ragas: Bombay' He played Jogiya Kalingra and Bilaskhani Todi before this
Can you pls tell from where can we get Jogiya Kalingra recording by Pandit ji ??

Pandit Nikhil Banerjee had been blessed by Almighty. When listen to Raag I feel heavenly peace of mind & beyond the sky.
He is a wonderful representation of what human genius can produce when put under discipline. No words to explain, i am just mesmerized everytime i listen to this magic played by him.

There are simply no words to describe this music masterpiece.
Raag Bhairavi is so very special because it is played to end a music program and is also played to begin the days first musical raag
In the morning
Tears of joy !!! Hard to believe that this is from a different era.
“A GRACE of The Infinite☝🏻 - To Have Heard Such a Wondrous Master of Sound…
This is Musical PRANA…”
I am speechless to hear Nikhil Baneejee's music, no words to express as usual.
Awesome. I am not in a state to comment anything.

Sublime music by two masters...Nikhil & Nikhil....What a treat.
Pranam to both masters..🙏

Marvellous !!! Thank you !!! Infinite voyage.
Fantastic presentation. Probably only Nikhil Banerjee can do this.
Speechless. No words to describe this divine experience of listening sitar.
Its magic. I was in heaven for 54 minutes. Thanks for the upload. BTW Can you please tell me the name of the Artist of these beautiful paintings you used in your presentation?
Sitting here listening to this amazing creation by Nikhil Banerjee and wondering what kind of people must be those who disliked this!
Thank you so much for uploading this wonderful performance!
Truly , one of India’s finest musicians. Love to hear his renderings of ragas.
One of the best I have heard till date. Thank u so much for sharing.
Fantastic no words to express
Beautiful melody. Vintage Nikhil Da.
A real treat .... relaxing, meditative, expanding, floating ... my heart rate has calmed.
Tabla player is Pandit Nikhil Ghosh
Tabla player is pt Shankar Ghosh.
No.. Here Tabla player is Pt. Aninda Chatterjee
@@aakashkumar5042 Don't think so even though AnindoJi was very close to him
Wonderful rendition.
Salaam Salaams to Panditji and his Tabla player
God bless
Thanks
Kasturi G
this was my introduction to eastern music! still one of my favorites for meditation :)
ICM is a very complex music system. Calling it meditation music does great disservice to the art.
With respect, he didn't call it "meditation music". He said he used it "for meditation :)"
Ty Dret his playing is itself the deepest meditation on bhairavi
Totally engrossing music!
Pradip Mitra, Virginia, USA
Total divine
wonderfull rendition!! thanks!! i 'm sure he plays on an hiren ry sitar, from calcutta!
Most relaxing
All Respect!! Amazing!
Superb playing to it's extecy . Wonderful soothing effect for all those who have distributed mind. Definitely a wonderful experience.
Sadasuhagan raga is bhairavi. Panditji has really mesmerized.
Bhairavi (thumari style ) by Pandit Nikhil Banerjee is the most lovely experience ! Bhushan Achalakar
Superb
Thanks for sharing

There is a visceral reaction for me, even though I have very little knowledge of the forms.
+PGR Nair Very true and heartfelt.
Not Ustad, he is Pandit Nikhil Banergee
So many can play sitar , but dada was only one who poured melody , ethos and adbhut laykaari ,what a loss
please can you say who the beautiful illustrations are by? many thanks!
काश ये वीडियो होता तो तो क्या कहूं इसके लिए मेरे पास शब्द नहीं है

This is spectacular - thanks a ton! Is this a commercially available recording? Any pointers to provenance would be much appreciated.
