True and this one is from Germany and the other one Bageshree is also quite an amazing recording even as per today's standards. Good recordings are important so that one can experience such a phenomenal artist in absolute sense
Pandit ji has such a great range and beautiful touch. He makes sitar sound like anything from rudra veena in the alap to sarod in the drut. Thanks a lot for uploading this gem!
He had been my idol from my childhood! The melodie mingles with tremendous laykari. I dare not post my comments, only am enchanted with his soulful music. Thanks for sharing.
Pandit Nikkildas most of the records R from forign compenies,,,,,? was he so popular in West,,,? I love his concerts more than anything in this world...SWEET MELODY with a little drupad touch in alaap portion....GREAT
I stopped going to concerts of other Sitatists after his death. I rarely listen these days after hearing his inspired playing among the big names of his generation.
ONE.OF MY MUSICAL FRIEND RIGHTLY TOLD ...IN NIKKILDAS SITAR THERE IS SOUND OF FLAVOUR OF PAAYAL - JANKAAR ( PAADASARAM ) ARDENT MUSIC DEVOTIES CAN ONLY HERE IT......
Despite being probably the greatest sitarist of all time with an amazing level of consistency, he never got his due just because he was immersed in his music. He could never market himself, either with an arrogance of an artiste or a flair of a salesman. Then there was nasty politics.
Does anybody know where can this recording be purchased? I would love to have it on CD... Thanks for uploading this beautiful masterpiece (virtually every raga played by Nikhil ji was a masterpiece, indeed...).
Purchase Audio Hijack Pro at rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/ and you can record any thing you like including this. Alternately, purchase a RU-vid Downloader, and get the video as well.
Do not take it bad, friend. May be the uploader simply did not know the name. I am sure they did not mean disrespect to tabla player. Sounds like Anindo ji, right?
Unfortunately the attached photo shows great Kanai Datta as tabla player but reality seems something else. Without knowing Tabla players, photographs should not used to attract listeners. If you didn't know Tabla player then only Sitar player's photo should have been given.
