Last weekend I was pondering over a purchase that I had been yearning for, for more than a month. A CD of the unasumming maestro Nikhil Banerjee. But amidst my meager internship budget and college fees for next year I've been trying to save everything that I have.
But that short interview Coolji posted on another thread sealed the deal. The number of times I must have listened to it in two days! At the end of which, I promptly went online and purchased the CD without any more reservations.
Abt the master. What can I say? The beauty of his recordings and his feeling for the notes are truly extraordinary..... Who else can make a note stay in the air for seconds and in the minds of the listeners for centuries. Sometimes it almost feels like he isnt truly playing for the audience but for himself and god alone. I feel the same way when listening to flute mali.
Not to mention I have a soft spot for his music If not for particular track of his that I heard from a recomendation from a friend, I would have never migrated to this end of the forum that I enjoy and appreciate so much now.
In that interview, he himself mentioned Riyaz for 10-12 hrs a day. Do I need any more inspiration to practice every day?
Here is a picture for that I found after a google search. It is one for the ages.
Anyone else their experiences?
Pandit Nikhil Banerjee
