Yep. The Ocora Label is it. You may want to contact Maharani or Rahul and I in Houston for a better price. Glad you enjoyed Nikhil Banerjee. Several CDs of his are available on the Chhanda Dhara label and on Raga Records. Again, I suggest contacting the above for the lowest prices. It is difficult to choose a few, I can only tell you which I like but you may not. Let me know if you would still like to know.

Here are some more performers you may enjoy:

Yes-those are THE recordings.Looks as if they have gone out of print for the moment.Those prices are unrealistic.They will turn up for you at a reasonable price eventually.Enjoy!

A Pakistani friend of mine gave me these two CD's:

"Qawwali" by The Sabri Brothers & Ensemble on Nonesuch Explorer Series

and

"Jasn-E-Khusrau" by Arbida Parveen on Spectrum

Erider, the music, and the playing, on that Nikhil Bannerjee documentary is sublime. His mastery of his instrument is superb. Thank you very much for introducing that. I have been to Indian classical concerts, but I own no Indian classical recordings. Having heard that, I will seek some out.
