Rajeev showed that he has not only mastered the intricacies of the instrument but also understood what good music is all about. His music offers a heaven of peace and touches the listeners. Hindustan Times, June, 23, 1996. A delicate fine perception of tone and Swara couched in just the right modulation and tint and these two never getting harsh or out of control even in the heat of faster playing is probably the most redeeming virtue of Rajeev's Sitar playing. The Hindu, June, 14, 1996. Long years of patient practice and an inborn natural talent have combined to make him a top notcher among our Sitarists. Today in his mid-twenties, he flowered into a fully natural artist whose recital may well be envy of many seasoned Sitar players.
