“Rajeevji was a brilliant sarodist, truly multifaceted in different fields, extremely talented, a very friendly person and a good human being. Even at the age of 90, he did riyaz for three to four hours a day, and used to say that that is what kept him alive.”—Vidushi Lalith J Rao, eminent musician of the Agra gharana, and N Jayavanth Rao, historian of the Agra gharana and musicologist
