3.0 out of 5 stars Ultimately unsatisfying, 14 Aug 2008
This set is rather a curate's egg. The traditional raga performances are, as one would expect, excellent, and the added presence of Yehudi Menuhin is revelatory. Playing with Shankar, he adapts to the Indian classical idiom effortlessly. It's a joy to hear.

The concertos are markedly less successful. They're pleasant and inoffensive, but marrying an essentially melodic tradition to the bulk of a western classical orchestra in these instances simply doesn't work. The pieces drift along rather aimlessly and then stop, and are nice enough as background music, but don't repay repeated listening terribly well.

For the price, this set is worth buying for the extras alone, but don't expect great things from the concertos.
