A Stunning and very cheap collection of Ravi Shankar's Music on 10 CDs totalling over 11 hours. The music is of course sitar based and mainly Ragas, but many collaborations and some shorter pieces with either Western or Eastern musicians. Recorded for EMI and affiliated labels between 1962 and 1986.
The sound quality is great and the packaging basic, with each CD in a Cardboard slip case and a small booklet which contains some recording details and potted history of Ravi in English and German.
A very worthwhile collection and bargain way to get into the music of one of India's finest musicians and a true legend

I was suspicious of the price, a bargain, but it really is a great box set. Diverse but with enough ragas to please. I assume that anyone who's reading this doesn't need any comment about the briliance of Ravi Shankar, which is just as well because my ability to comment thereon would be feeble.

Finally all Ravi Shankar's EMI recordings in a beautiful box.
Here The Master is in his best days.
A "MUST" for lovers of the indian traditional music!

Beware
Beware of this box set if you want authentic Indian classical music. By the mid 'sixties Shankar was becoming fashionable in the West and courtesy of EMI, was partnered with an... Read more
