1	Rise (2005) more music like this by Anoushka Shankar add to wishlist The daughter of Ravi Shankar moves far from the tradition on her fourth solo album, using her considerable sitar skills (understandably, she'll never be her father's equal, but who ever will?) as just part of her arsenal on an album that strives hard to blend the past and cutting edge. It succeeds in part, as on "Solea," where Indian and flamenco ... see all copies from £6.13! new only from £8.75!
2	Breathing Under Water (2007) more music like this by Anoushka Shankar and Karsh Kale add to wishlist Breathing Under Water is a different animal altogether. The pair co-wrote eight of the 13 cuts together. Another, "Easy," was co-written with Norah Jones -- Anoushka Shankar's half sister -- and sung by her. Ravi wrote a two-part tune with his daughter and appears on the album as well. The other big name guest is Sting (it's a payback for Shankar ... see all copies from £7.89! new only from £8.71!
3	Traditional Music of India (1995) more music like this by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan add to wishlist Along with Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan stands out as a musician whose work caused America and the West to pay attention to Indian classical in the 1960s. This disc combines two albums from 1965: Traditional Music of India and The Soul of Indian Music, both originally on Prestige. The re-release offers Michael Gold's informative and occasionally ... see all copies from £7.76! new only from £7.76!
4	The Essential Ravi Shankar (2005) more music like this by Ravi Shankar add to wishlist With over 90 albums to his credit, the task for those who wish to investigate the recordings of India's master musician Ravi Shankar can be a daunting one. Therefore, the Legacy/BMG Essential Ravi Shankar fills a welcome place in his catalog and serves as a starting point for the novitiate. There are 20 cuts on these two discs that range over most ... see all copies from £11.34! new only from £11.34!
5	Raga Guide: A Survey of 74 Hindustani Ragas (1999) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist In music-speak, ragas are essentially scalar melody forms -- something like scales or melodic modes in Western music. However, North Indian ragas do differ from Western modes and scales in several important ways: ragas often take on different ascending and descending forms, act as melodic armatures for vocal and/or instrumental improvisation, are ... see all copies from £28.54! new only from £28.54!
6	Passages (1990) more music like this by Ravi Shankar and Phillip Glass add to wishlist A collaboration between an avant-garde modern classical composer and a traditional Indian/Hindi composer/performer seems as unlikely as ice hockey on the River Styx. However, Passages is a collaboration between Philip Glass and Ravi Shankar and it works quite well. Shankar's smooth style fits nicely with Glass' dissonant orchestrations. There is a ... see all copies from £5.61! new only from £5.61!
7	West Meets East: The Historic Shankar/Menuhin Sessions [Angel] (1967) more music like this by Ravi Shankar & Yehudi Menuhin add to wishlist West Meets East: The Historic Shankar/Menuhin Sessions collects the best from Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Menuhin's three West Meets East albums. This compilation features "Prabhati" and "Swara-Kakali" from the first album, "Raga Piloo" and "Dhun" from the second, and "Tenderness" and "Twilight Mood" from the third. All of the tracks feature the ... see all copies from £5.11! new only from £6.74!
8	Call of the Valley (1995) more music like this by Shivkumar Sharma/Brijbushan Kabra/Hariprasad Chaurasia add to wishlist Shivkumar Sharma, the guitarist Brijbhushan Kabra, and flutist Hariprasad Chaurasia were all aged about 30 when they made Call of the Valley. Shivkumar Sharma, who had made his first solo album in 1960, was responsible for establishing and popularizing the instrument in Hindustani classical circles. Kabra was also having to prove himself because ... see all copies from £7.98! new only from £7.98!
9	Improvisations (1962) more music like this by Ravi Shankar/Paul Horn/Bud Shank add to wishlist First released in 1961, Improvisations features some ahead-of-the-curve jazz-Indian fusion, thanks to Ravi Shankar's collaboration with bassist Gary Peacock and saxophonist Bud Shank. The album also includes Shankar's improvisations on the theme he wrote for the film "Pather Panchali," by Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray, as well as the three-part ... see all copies from £7.33! new only from £7.33!
10	India's Master Musician (1963) more music like this by Ravi Shankar add to wishlist One of Ravi Shankar's first Western recordings -- made at London's Abbey Road Studios in 1963 (a full two years before George Harrison was introduced to Shankar's music) and originally released in the U.S. on the tiny jazz-oriented indie World Pacific -- India's Master Musician makes some slight concessions toward the untutored Western audience. ... see all copies from £4.95! new only from £7.33!
11	In London (1964) more music like this by Ravi Shankar add to wishlist Ravi Shankar's In London is a re-release of an old World Pacific album from 1964. On it, the master of 20th century sitar shows off the speed and clarity of playing that made him such a great. Accompanying him are Kanai Dutt on tabla and Nodu C. Mullick on tamboura. The album begins with a nice exposition of a South Indian raga that has migrated ... see all copies from £7.33! new only from £7.33!
12	At the Monterey International Pop Festival [Angel] (1967) more music like this by Ravi Shankar add to wishlist see all copies from £7.33! new only from £7.33!
13	Sound of the Sitar [Angel] (1965) more music like this by Ravi Shankar add to wishlist see all copies from £7.33! new only from £7.33!
14	Ragas (1973) more music like this by Ravi Shankar/Ali Akbar Khan add to wishlist A less-than-perfect recording, this double-album is still an impeccable document of inspired raga duets by the masters Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan. ~ Myles Boisen, All Music Guide see all copies from £7.52! new only from £7.52!
15	Signature Series, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan add to wishlist see all copies from £8.32! new only from £8.32!
16	Anoushka (1998) more music like this by Anoushka Shankar add to wishlist While the sitar is usually taught master to student in a male to male tradition, this beautiful daughter to renowned sitar master Ravi Shankar has been given access to the art. Debuting in 1994 and touring with Ravi since, this album of five compositions, four of which are Ravi Shankar's, is a fitting recording debut. The pieces begin with a slow ... see all copies from £3.59! new only from £10.40!
17	In Good We Trust (2007) more music like this by Harry Manx/Kevin Breit add to wishlist The follow-up to this pair's Jubilee album finds them basically starting where they left off. And fans should be thankful for that. The instrumentation is top-notch and the selections seem to suit the record perfectly. A great example of this is the haunting but folksy reworking of Bruce Springsteen's "I'm on Fire," which is still dark but has a ... see all copies from £8.96! new only from £10.40!
18	The Rain (2003) more music like this by Ghazal add to wishlist On its fourth outing and its first for ECM, the Indian/Persian duo Ghazal chose to record a live album. Issued from a concert in Switzerland, the recording blends the musical styles of both countries. Shujaat Husain Khan, a direct descendant (grandson) of the venerable musician and spiritual master Ustad Vilayat Khan, plays sitar in the Imad Khan ... see all copies from £11.55! new only from £11.55!
19	Maestro of the Indian Flute (2006) more music like this by Hariprasad Chaurasia add to wishlist The two-CD Maestro of the Indian Flute compilation has more than two hours of recordings by Hariprasad Chaurasia spanning 1967-1994. Most of the pieces are ragas, and most are lengthy, with none shorter than five minutes, and one, "Raga Latangi," lasting almost half an hour. Divided into thematic " Innovations " and " Traditions " CDs, the tracks ... see all copies from £10.39! new only from £10.39!
20	Live at Carnegie Hall (2001) more music like this by Anoushka Shankar add to wishlist While Anoushka Shankar had already received terrific amounts of press because of her heritage and beauty, the young sitar prodigy's Carnegie Hall concert in October of 2000 was perhaps one the first true musical milestones of her blossoming career. Still performing music as composed by her renowned father and sitar master, Ravi Shankar, the ... see all copies from £4.88! new only from £8.91!
21	Vision of Peace: The Art of Ravi Shankar (2001) more music like this by Ravi Shankar add to wishlist The sublime artistry of the legendary sitar master Ravi Sankar on this two-CD compilation is marred by bungled liner notes. With a title as general as Vision of Peace, one would expect a "mainstream" offering; indeed, the liner notes offer a primer on the Indian raga, with a glossary of terms and instruments. Fine, but you are offered no ... see all copies from £9.90! new only from £9.90!
22	A Morning Raga/An Evening Raga (1968) more music like this by Ravi Shankar add to wishlist Originally released in 1968 on World Pacific, A Morning Raga/An Evening Raga is exactly what the title says, impeccably played by Ravi Shankar and his longtime tabla partner Alla Rakha. Angel's reissues of Shankar's World Pacific titles have all sounded great, and this is no exception. ~ Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide see all copies from £7.33! new only from £7.33!
23	Sitar Concertos & Other Works (2005) more music like this by Ravi Shankar/Yehudi Menuhin/The London Symphony Orchestra/André Prev add to wishlist see all copies from £8.54! new only from £8.54!
24	Evening Raga (2003) more music like this by Ustad Amjad Ali Khan add to wishlist see all copies from £7.97! new only from £7.97!
25	Duet (1993) more music like this by Ali Akbar Khan & L.Subramaniam add to wishlist A near-perfect example of the classical duet, this superb live concert features star violinist L. Subramaniam and tabla drummer Zakir Hussein. ~ Myles Boisen, All Music Guide see all copies from £9.03! new only from £9.03!
