KALYAN MUKHERJEA - SAROD
A.G. Bandopadhyay - Tabla
KALYAN MUKHERJEA, a Professor of Mathematics, is an unusual member of the Radhika Mohan Maitra stylistic lineage, which emphasizes the sarod's rhythmic/percussive aspects - as an enhancer and modernizer of the traditional idiom. While influenced by the modern vocal style of sitarist Vilayat Khan, he plays a sarod with a rather banjo-like tone, which belonged to his Guru’s Guru, Mohammed Amir Khan. Here he plays ragas Shuddh Kalyan and Shukla Bilawal, both of which have a peaceful, calming ambience.
