Discography - Published Recordings - Full List Nikhil Banerjee – Discography
Last update 17th October 2018.
Author – Alan Tootill. Free use may be made of this discography but any reproduction or holding on other websites should be accompanied by an author credit, please, and a link to my email address alan@nikhilbanerjee.uk and to the web site www.nikhilbanerjee.uk
This discography includes what I know about LP/Cassette/CD recordings of Nikhil Banerjee, presented by label.
The earlier recordings were on EMI and related company LP issues, many subsequently reissued on cassette then CD. These provide a fair account of studio recordings with a limited performance timespan imposed by the medium. (Nikhil Banerjee is said to have disliked performing this way).
The mid-90s saw the release of some interesting AIR (All India Radio) material.
More recently the companies Raga Records and Chhanda Dhara have released an extraordinary series of CDs of Nikhil’s live performances, which are the best guide to the actual concert experience of listening to this great sitar exponent, who is often regarded as the 20th century’s master of the instrument and its music.
Anthologies and compilations with a mixture of Nikhil Banerjee and other artists’ recordings were previously largely ignored where the tracks on these are included within the solo albums below. But since, in particular, the RPG/Saregama CD collection represents now a substantial block of what is currently available to purchasers I have included a summary of these.
Track lengths are given, usually as total length for multi-track CD versions. Cassette or LP track lengths are necessarily approximate.
Many or most of these issues are out of print. The Raga Records archive is a notable exception.
Please advise any errors/additions. Alan

The discography of Raga Records was very helpful in providing the impetus and backbone for this discography some years ago. Karl-Michael Schneider’s listing of EMI/HMV early releases helped considerably, as did Bernhard Bruechig’s additional details Thanks also to many friends who have contributed information via the internet. |
