Ravi Shankar – The Genius Of Ravi Shankar

Anyone interested who plays tamboura and tabla? Kamala Chakravarty and Alla Rakha?

Definitely feels like this was manufactured for the Western market. While each piece is a good enough length, it seems obvious that the "alap" has been stepped over so that the ragas can get right to action as it were. The full intensity of Indian classical music is presented here, likely a good choice as a stepping stone to get a Western audience hooked quickly. Overall, this has much appeal even for those already steeped in the genre.

I cannot find a release here in Discogs for the one I own. I have a Stereo Holland press CBS S 67269.

I just acquired a copy of this but do not see a release here for my version. It’s a holland press on double LP. Anyone have any info on this release at all?

quite funny sleeve notes, very condescending about young people, hippies and pop music

this playlist appear on side C + D of this double lp

My copy is similar to this except it has a two-eye "360 sound" label.
