Budhaditya Mukherjee (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Budhaditya Mukherjee is a Hindustani classical sitar and surbahar player of the Imdadkhani Gharana (school). He was taught by his father Bimalendu Mukherjee from the age of 5, and started making a name for himself at a young age. In 1970, he won two national-level music competitions, and soon after was famously endorsed in glowing terms first by film maker Satyajit Ray and then South Indian veena great Balachander, who proclaimed him "sitar artist of the century." In 1975, Budhaditya became a grade A artist with All India Radio (he was promoted to top grade in 1986). Since then, he has become an established sitarist, known for virtuosity, speed and precision.
