Music: Afternoon Ragas

Asif Naqshbandi April 24, 2003

Tags: music

Music Review

Artists: NIKHIL BANERJEE sitar KANAI DUTTA tabla

Historically Important Archival Recording from Rotterdam, 1970:
Legendary Sitarist Nikhil Banerjee in a rare live performance of two afternoon ragas: 1. Raag Bhimpalasri and 2. Raag Multani.

The first raga presented is simply soul-stirring and heart-rendering
and moving. Perfect music with a slow, majestic, alap which builds up to an astonishing central piece and crescendo finale.

The second raga is also sweet to listen to but pales before the first one. A sheer joy!
