Nikhil Banerjee ‎– Raga Piloo (1975, Disques Espérance)

Pandit Nikhil Banerjee is widely celebrated as a legendary figure in the realm of Indian performers, and his interpretation of Raga Piloo stands in stark contrast to that of Sridhar. Notably, both musicians hold improvisation in high regard, a crucial aspect of Indian music that requires an exceptional level of discernment to make a nuanced comparison between their styles. However, Banerjee’s exceptional skill on the sitar infuses his performance with a more recognizable and flowing sound, contributing to the unique allure of his rendition.
