Ravi Shankar - The Master '2010

Tracks list

“One of the most masterly instrumentalists in the world
today”— New York Times. Here, collected for the first time in a
3-CD set, are all of Ravi Shankar’s recordings on Deutsche Grammophon
brought together in celebration of his 90th birthday. 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 glowing and enthusiastic praise.
Complete Recordings on Deutsche Grammophon. Special packaging: digipack, new
liner notes, photos of Shankar and musicians.
