Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
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.

Sublime 7 Mar 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have been thinking about getting a CD of Indian Sitar music to play on my curry night for some time,I just wanted to create the right atmosphere for an authentic Indian dining experience. Well, I have found exactly the type of music I have been looking for, its mystical & beautiful & played sublimely by the wonderful Ravi Shankar.
