Product Description
Ravi Shankar, the internationally acclaimed sitar virtuoso, performer, composer, and master of Indian classical music has enlightened a generation of music fans around the world. From his celebrated performances at Woodstock and the Monterey Pop Festival, to his mentorship of the late Beatle George Harrison, Grammy-winning Ravi Shankar has been a pioneering force in the world of music.

His association with musicians such as Yehudi Menuhin, Jean Pierre Rampal, Zubin Mehta, Andre Previn, George Harrison, John Coltrane, Philip Glass, and others established ground-breaking trends and standards that have set him apart in the annals of classical and contemporary music.

Now for the first time ever on DVD, revisit Shankar s legendary 1993 CONCERT FOR WORLD PEACE live at Royal Albert Hall where the Godfather of World Music was joined by world-renowned Tabla player Zakire Hussain and Shankar's disciple Sarodist Partho Sarathy. Together they take you on a spellbinding musical odyssey of improvisational mastery.


DVD Features
Ravi Shankar: The Soul of Tradition Mini-documentary includes never-before-seen photos from Shankar's personal collection and interviews with Ravi Shankar, Anoushka Shankar, Lakshmi Shankar, Philip Glass, and Zakir Hussain; 5.1 Surround Sound.

Hmmm... the thread title seems a bit misleading - there's no indication from the description that this release features Shankar playing with Glass.

Thanks, Linda. I don't mean to be a pest, but sometimes the details make the difference. I would be interested in a truly collaborative performance DVD (I enjoyed the Passages album) but I'm less interested in just a Shankar trio performance.
