I first heard Ravi Shankar playing the sitar, the traditional Indian guitar, in Singapore in 1967, when the multiracial audience, many of whom had never heard Indian music before, gave him a standing ovation for the haunting lyricism of his melodies, and the wit with which he and his tabla player (drummer) invented complicated rhythms and challenged each other to copy then. His influence on the Beatles is famous. I heard him play again this year (2011) when he is just as inventive and musically agile despite being 90 years old. This CD is a good introduction to his music.

Ravi Shankar
Been aware of his masterful playing since the late 60s but somehow never got around to getting a good album of his work. Glad I finally did. Read more

Such talent
What a genius this man was, and listening is especially good whilst driving. Added to which, having two discs in this set is excellent.
