About
“One of the most masterly instrumentalists in the world today” New York Times
A 90th-birthday tribute to the master of the sitar.
For George Harrison he was “the Godfather of Western Music”; for Yehudi Menuhin “his genius and his humanity can only be compared to that of Mozart’s”. No other musician of his time has garnered such encomia. Here for the first time are all Ravi Shankar’s recordings on Deutsche Grammophon brought together in a single collection, in celebration of his 90th birthday.
Special packaging: digipack, new liner notes, photos of Shankar and musicians
