Search - Nikhil Banerjee :: Shree Rag: Munich 1976

Astonishing masterpiece

"This is one of Banerjee's greatest recorded performances - - although I hesitate to say that in light of the large number of live performances that seem to be lurking in the vaults. I own twenty-something vinyl and CD albums of his performances, but I had not run across this one until recently. The pacing and mystery of the lengthy introductory Alap is wonderful, and the rest of this amazing performance lives up to that marvelous introduction ... For those who don't know classical Indian music, a better introduction is the great duet album with Banerjee and Ali Akbar Khan. But people who love this music should surely find space in their collection for this dazzling Munich concert."

"The energy transmitted in this live recording is laser like, yet the rhythms, sustain the layers of divine harmonys."
