1	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 £3.91! new only from £5.61!
2	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 £28.57! new only from £28.57!
3	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 £8.49! new only from £8.49!
4	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 £7.80! new only from £7.91!
5	Morning Ragas: Bombay Complete Concert 1965 (2000) more music like this by Nikhil Banerjee & Manilal Nag add to wishlist see all copies from £21.62! new only from £21.62!
6	Planet Sleeps (1997) more music like this by Various Artists add to wishlist An interesting collection of lullabies from around the world from Sony's Work label, The Planet Sleeps includes music from most continents. It's a little heavy on the Western European traditions (Gaelic, French, German), but makes up for itself with rewardingly soothing pieces throughout. While it could almost seem to be a bit slow paced and ... see all copies from £5.28! new only from £5.79!
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	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!
9	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 £6.79! new only from £6.79!
10	The Sounds of India (1968) more music like this by Ravi Shankar add to wishlist One of the early works of art created for the West by the Grandfather of World Music. This album stands as an early attempt to teach the curious western listener about the complexity and beauty of Indian music. Composer Alan Hovhaness provides some rather thorough liner notes describing the systems involved in Indian classical music (with the ... see all copies from £3.72! new only from £4.80!
11	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!
12	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!
13	Making Music (1986) more music like this by Zakir Hussain add to wishlist World fusion/jazz group falls short of its great potential. With guitar star John Mclaughlin. ~ Michael G. Nastos, All Music Guide see all copies from £5.89! new only from £12.28!
14	Remember Shakti (1999) more music like this by John McLaughlin add to wishlist On Remember Shakti, jazz guitarist John McLaughlin returns to one of his chief inspirations -- classical Indian music -- by re-forming his '70s group Shakti. Original members Zakir Hussain (tabla) and Vikku Vinayakram (ghatam) return, joined by Hariprasad Chaurasia on the bansuri (Indian flute). Remember Shakti has a more meditative, fluid feel ... see all copies from £5.33! new only from £17.48!
15	Ragas & Talas (1964) more music like this by Ravi Shankar add to wishlist This is a 2000 digital remastering of a 1964 original release. The sound is very good. As is usually the case with Shankar, the music is quite accessible to Western ears. The jor section of the piece "Dhun" is quite tuneful, for example. And the brevity of the raags (five, ten, 16, and 21 minutes) really helps. The five-minute track is a stirring ... see all copies from £7.33! new only from £7.33!
16	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!
17	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 £8.75! new only from £8.75!
18	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!
19	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!
20	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 £10.92! new only from £10.92!
21	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!
22	The Namesake [Original Score] (2007) more music like this by Nitin Sawhney add to wishlist In Mira Nair's film The Namesake (which is based on the book by Jhumpa Lahiri), a man searches to balance his American life and mindset with his parents' Indian customs, eventually coming to a kind of understanding of his two sometimes contrasting sides. Accordingly, the accompanying soundtrack reflects this confluence of cultures -- as well as ... see all copies from £9.39! new only from £9.39!
23	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 £3.60! new only from £10.41!
24	Signature Series, Vol. 3 (1994) more music like this by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan add to wishlist see all copies from £8.57! new only from £8.57!
25	Divine Bliss (1997) more music like this by Shri Anandi Ma add to wishlist A relative newcomer to the Indian tradition of the singer saint, Shri Anandi Ma studied under Shri Dhyanyogiji and composed a huge number of spiritual songs while at a rural temple near Bombay. This album has eight of such songs. The sound is at times vaguely similar to qawwal, with accompaniment from harmonium and bells that mimic the handclaps ... see all copies from £6.56! new only from £6.56!
