" . . . Kumar Gandharva Awardee Budhaditya Mukherjee took the musical evening to newer heights . . As his confident fingers began strumming the sitar strings, the audience was left spellbound . . ." Dewas Darpan, 1994

". . . For the crowd that gathered at the Kamani Auditorium to listen to Budhaditya Mukherjees sitar it should have been an evening worth tuning back to. Mukherjees intriguing treatment of the raga Shudh Kalyan during initial hour of the concert spelt magi c- his fingers on the sitar, now sober and heavy with melody, now flashing like lightening through notes each identifiable in their supreme flight was electrifying, to put it mildly. . . ." The Economic Times, 1991.
