1	Passages (1990) more music like this by Ravi Shankar and Phillip Glass A collaboration between an avant-garde modern classical composer and a traditional Indian/Hindi composer/performer seems as unlikely as ice hockey on the River Styx. However, Passages is a collaboration between Philip Glass and Ravi Shankar and it works quite well. Shankar's smooth style fits nicely with Glass' dissonant orchestrations. There is a ... see all copies from $6.41! new only from $6.41!
2	Rise (2005) more music like this by Anoushka Shankar The daughter of Ravi Shankar moves far from the tradition on her fourth solo album, using her considerable sitar skills (understandably, she'll never be her father's equal, but who ever will?) as just part of her arsenal on an album that strives hard to blend the past and cutting edge. It succeeds in part, as on "Solea," where Indian and flamenco ... see all copies from $11.73! new only from $16.11!
3	Live on Earth...For a Limited Time Only (1999) more music like this by Krishna Das Considered the leading Western proponent of kirtan chanting, Krishna Das shows his stuff on the double-disc Live on Earth. The live setting is where Das really shines, with posse in tow generally singing in the traditional call-and-response fashion. Devotion flows through his husky baritone voice and enthusiasm abounds in the claps of the group. ... see all copies from $7.12! new only from $7.12!
4	Breathing Under Water (2007) more music like this by Anoushka Shankar and Karsh Kale Breathing Under Water is a different animal altogether. The pair co-wrote eight of the 13 cuts together. Another, "Easy," was co-written with Norah Jones -- Anoushka Shankar's half sister -- and sung by her. Ravi wrote a two-part tune with his daughter and appears on the album as well. The other big name guest is Sting (it's a payback for Shankar ... see all copies from $15.65! new only from $15.65!
5	Call of the Valley (1995) more music like this by Shivkumar Sharma/Brijbushan Kabra/Hariprasad Chaurasia Shivkumar Sharma, the guitarist Brijbhushan Kabra, and flutist Hariprasad Chaurasia were all aged about 30 when they made Call of the Valley. Shivkumar Sharma, who had made his first solo album in 1960, was responsible for establishing and popularizing the instrument in Hindustani classical circles. Kabra was also having to prove himself because ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.00!
6	The Sounds of India (1968) more music like this by Ravi Shankar One of the early works of art created for the West by the Grandfather of World Music. This album stands as an early attempt to teach the curious western listener about the complexity and beauty of Indian music. Composer Alan Hovhaness provides some rather thorough liner notes describing the systems involved in Indian classical music (with the ... see all copies from $5.88! new only from $5.88!
7	Three Ragas [Angel] (1956) more music like this by Ravi Shankar Perhaps Ravi Shankar's finest World Pacific record, Three Ragas is not only a fantastic artistic statement, but also an excellent introduction to the medium of Indian music itself. Performed by Shankar and a very simple trio, the pieces on this record show the true heart of Indian music at its most intimate. The second side, "Raga Jog," will take ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $9.60!
8	Sound of the Sitar (1965) more music like this by Ravi Shankar see all copies from $5.04! new only from $9.60!
9	Ragas & Talas (1964) more music like this by Ravi Shankar This is a 2000 digital remastering of a 1964 original release. The sound is very good. As is usually the case with Shankar, the music is quite accessible to Western ears. The jor section of the piece "Dhun" is quite tuneful, for example. And the brevity of the raags (five, ten, 16, and 21 minutes) really helps. The five-minute track is a stirring ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.60!
10	Live at Carnegie Hall (2001) more music like this by Anoushka Shankar While Anoushka Shankar had already received terrific amounts of press because of her heritage and beauty, the young sitar prodigy's Carnegie Hall concert in October of 2000 was perhaps one the first true musical milestones of her blossoming career. Still performing music as composed by her renowned father and sitar master, Ravi Shankar, the ... see all copies from $8.63! new only from $8.64!
11 view cover	The Essential Ravi Shankar (2005) more music like this by Ravi Shankar With over 90 albums to his credit, the task for those who wish to investigate the recordings of India's master musician Ravi Shankar can be a daunting one. Therefore, the Legacy/BMG Essential Ravi Shankar fills a welcome place in his catalog and serves as a starting point for the novitiate. There are 20 cuts on these two discs that range over most ... see all copies from $13.48! new only from $22.14!
12 view cover	West Meets East: The Historic Shankar/Menuhin Sessions [Angel] (1967) more music like this by Ravi Shankar & Yehudi Menuhin West Meets East: The Historic Shankar/Menuhin Sessions collects the best from Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Menuhin's three West Meets East albums. This compilation features "Prabhati" and "Swara-Kakali" from the first album, "Raga Piloo" and "Dhun" from the second, and "Tenderness" and "Twilight Mood" from the third. All of the tracks feature the ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $9.60!
13 view cover	Improvisations (1962) more music like this by Ravi Shankar/Paul Horn/Bud Shank First released in 1961, Improvisations features some ahead-of-the-curve jazz-Indian fusion, thanks to Ravi Shankar's collaboration with bassist Gary Peacock and saxophonist Bud Shank. The album also includes Shankar's improvisations on the theme he wrote for the film "Pather Panchali," by Indian filmmaker Satyajit Ray, as well as the three-part ... see all copies from $7.87! new only from $9.58!
14 view cover	A Morning Raga/An Evening Raga (1968) more music like this by Ravi Shankar Originally released in 1968 on World Pacific, A Morning Raga/An Evening Raga is exactly what the title says, impeccably played by Ravi Shankar and his longtime tabla partner Alla Rakha. Angel's reissues of Shankar's World Pacific titles have all sounded great, and this is no exception. Sean Westergaard, All Music Guide see all copies from $7.92! new only from $9.60!
15 view cover	Bombay Dub Orchestra (2006) more music like this by Bombay Dub Orchestra Bombay Dub Orchestra is the brainchild of two British producers, Andrew T. Mackay (a TV/film score composer and classical arranger who has worked with everyone from Herb Ritts to L.A. rock & roll outfit VAST) and producer Garry Hughes (Björk, Sly & Robbie) with master mixing engineer Daman Sood. They figured by bringing beats, keyboards, a full ... see all copies from $12.39! new only from $16.81!
16 view cover	Healing the Divide (2007) more music like this by Various Artists Healing the Divide is a non-profit foundation founded by actor, humanitarian, and Tibetan Buddhist practitioner Richard Gere. The foundation, according to the liner notes, is "...dedicated to collaborative solutions to humanitarian crises that threaten the development and welfare of marginalized communities throughout the world." Fair enough. In ... see all copies from $14.47! new only from $14.47!
17 view cover	Traditional Music of India (1995) more music like this by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan Along with Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan stands out as a musician whose work caused America and the West to pay attention to Indian classical in the 1960s. This disc combines two albums from 1965: Traditional Music of India and The Soul of Indian Music, both originally on Prestige. The re-release offers Michael Gold's informative and occasionally ... see all copies from $8.63! new only from $10.35!

19 view cover	The Rain (2003) more music like this by Ghazal On its fourth outing and its first for ECM, the Indian/Persian duo Ghazal chose to record a live album.

22 view cover	Raga Darbari Kanada/Dhun in Raga Mishra Pilu (1993) more music like this by Hariprasad Chaurasia Virtuoso flutist Hariprasad Chaurasia shines on this recording predominated by the main piece, "Raga Darbari Kanada," which is known for its stately, meditative mood. It is meant to be performed after sunset, before midnight. The alap portion runs for over 30 minutes -- very nice. The gat portion is restrained and majestic, appropriate to this ... see all copies from $11.84! new only from $13.30!
