Morning Ragas Bombay 1965

Nagra recording of a morning concert for a music circle by Felix van Lamsweerde made in Mumbai (Bombay) in 1965. Complete concert on 2 CDs. Tabla: Nikhil Ghosh. About the Bombay concert: Apart from his beautiful music, the main thing I remember strongly about Nikhil Banerjee is his soft manner and extreme modesty. In fact, when I asked him for permission to record the concert, he said: "Why? I am not good enough yet. Better record me another time, later!" Of course, what was very special in this concert and for me the first time I heard it: the tarparan, the tabla joining in the jor section of the Bilaskhani Todi alap. Nikhil Banerjee explained to me that tarparan was a technique borrowed from the way rudra vina and pakhavaj play together in the dhrupad style.---From a letter by Felix van Lamsweerde
