Ravi Shankar - Bridges: The Best of the Private Music Recordings '2001

Tracks list

BRIDGES is a breathtaking overview of a mere three of the countless projects
that sitar legend Ravi Shankar has worked on since his first appearance in the
West in the 1930s. INSIDE THE KREMLIN, recorded in a Moscow in the throes of
glasnost in 1988, features pieces that are simultaneously awe-inspiring and
hypnotic. The more lighthearted tracks culled from TANA MANA include Shankar's
good friend the late George Harrison among several other rock luminaries, while
modern classical composer Philip Glass is a collaborator on the selections taken
from PASSAGES.

All three albums are as distinct from each other as could be, but Shankar's
vision, at once mischievous, playful, and deeply spiritual, is the unifying
force that predominates. Though it has no pretensions to being a comprehensive
overview of the Indian master, BRIDGES is a completely satisfying and absorbing
glimpse of both Shankar's breadth of vision and his intense musical curiosity.
