If anybody wants to understand/perceive a raga, this is the person. No sparkling technical show-off. No innovative phrase appearing suddenly to surprise. But as he played, the raga used to appear around him, adding a divine touch. Only Pt Nikhil Banerjee could attain this, none before, none after.
You can listen to this everyday for the rest of your lives, but still find some new things to marvel about every time you listen again. This type of music has no parallel, just nothing else comes close.
I have listened raga Sohini played by many artists but played by Pt.Nikhil Bannerjee is something which does not have any match.I have the cassette of raga Sohini and Megh. Particularly raga Sohini makes me highly immotional and tears come out of my eyes when it is played by Pt.Nikhil Bannerjee.
+TheBrandon425 : Celestial rendition by the God of Sitar. I am listening to the rendition of this night raga in Sitar for the first time. I can now understand why you have been listening to it every day.
THanks for sharing this. i used to listen to this and megh on the other side of the cassette atleast 7 to 8 times a day and so did my ailing mother. I actually memorized it in the passing. Yes its Swapanda on the tabla and i have thanked him so many times personally for this beautiful recording.Thank you once again
I have been searching for this number by Panditji for 25 years. I live in the West and have limited access to resources from back home. Thank you for sharing, my humble gratitude to you Mr Mandal.
a soulful rendition by the sitarist who has no parallel.His sitar actually sings.sohani is very sweet raga and it turns honey when played by Nikhil ji.Reminds me of "Jogan ban ke" by bade gulam ali khan in film Mughale Azam
Божественная часть меня Как постоянный свет, Как постоянный звук. В любви - сильней, Ей проживанье на земле - удел, Обожествляя все мои движения. Мои тела Казались мне душой, Но позже снизошла душа Гораздо большая, И ею я, Тебя касаюсь, словно божество. И ты молишь меня, И слышу я Тебя везде, Твой звук, Твои ветра. Я полыхаю вкруг - Цветок огня - Меня необжигающего. Твоё моление - Моя судьба, В твоём пространстве Пологом спущусь. Укрою Сладостью тебя И музыкой моих стихов.
What the fuck man..no words to explain the chills that I get when I listen to this...why dont people listen to this..the alap and the beginning of the Madyhalaya is so beautiful that it could make one cry so easily..
This is such beautiful raga, and Panditji has really taken me into trance.when we hear this Masterpiece with eyes closed,tears of joy and satisfaction of listening to such superb rendition automatically come....Felt like dancing like a great devotee fully absorbed in it.🙏🙏
This rendition is at per with 'prem ki maar katar'by Bade Ghulam Ali Khan saab. But it won't be an exaggeration if I say that Sohini has never been rendered with this exquisite craftsmanship and sentiment.
