Overview
A beautiful record of the extraordinary life of the world's leading sitar player and elder statesman of Indian culture. After studying in India with classical Hindustani music master Allauddin Khan, Ravi Shankar's early career culminated in a successful tour of Soviet Russia in 1954. In 1956 Ravi became the first Indian artist to bridge the cultural gap and encourage appreciation of Indian music in Europe and America. In 1966 his meeting with George Harrison began a lasting friendship and collaboration out of which this book was born. Includes a stunning collection of color and B&W photos and documents drawn almost entirely from personal archives, and contributions from a wide circle of friends including Yehudi Menuhin, Zubin Mehta and Philip Glass.
