Biography

Ravi Shankar is the Indian-born sitar player who helped introduce the instrument to the West. His virtuosity on the instrument has made him the musician that all other sitar players look up to.

Tutored on sitar as a young boy, Shankar began performing as a teen in the 1930s although he took further training, under Indian music maestro Allaudin Khan, from 1938 until l944. As his reputation in India… Read more in Amazon's Ravi Shankar Store

5.0 out of 5 stars One of his finest recordings!, March 3, 2006

Clifford Teapes (Etna, CA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: India's Master Musician (Audio CD)

The recent release of this recording on CD was greatly anticipated and is highly appreciated. I would suggest that this CD be the first place to start if you are interested in discovering (or rediscovering) the virtuoso "picking" of Ravi Shankar.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, April 4, 2004

Shree "Sangeet4Ever" (Pacifica, CA, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: India's Master Musician (Audio CD)

I wish I could have all of the "REMASTERED CDs" that have been released now and perhaps one day I will. But this was the first one I got which started off my Ravi Shankar collection. This is an excellent CD because it gives you five completely different raags including a "dhun" and a "thumri" style. What is great about these old recordings is that Panditji has condensed every raag in a shorter version of a fully blown concert which is usually about an hour long.
Listening to Puriya Dhanashri one is automatically taken to an evening setting. My favourite in this CD is the raag "Charu Keshi" I haven't experienced such a beautiful introduction to a raag, there is so much in the first five or six seconds of this piece that I could hear just that again and again.
If you hear any poor digital remastering, you are not paying attention.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent, June 14, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: India's Master Musician (Audio CD)

if you like indian music you must have this album. All sounds (citar and anothers) are amaizing and those lead you to a great ficticious trip to Indian... excellent album!

I have almost all of the cd's in the Ravi Shankar collection. And this is by far my favorite. Most of the disc is up-tempo, so it's not a album for meditation. Read more

Beautiful music! Shankar is a true sitar genius. However the sound quality isn't that great for being digitally remastered. Read more
