He largely introduced the West to Indian classical music in the '60s, with help from George Harrison, although he was already a giant figure in his own field. While it's called The Best of Ravi Shankar, Bridges is a bit of a misnomer since it's actually culled from the records he made in the late '80s. However, they represent some of his most adventurous work. Tracks like \"Tarana,\" recorded in the Kremlin, mix his sound with Russian music, while three cuts come from his collaboration with noted American modern classical composer Philip Glass; elsewhere, former Beatle Harrison figures in the mix. But the center of attention, as always, is Shankar's pristine playing of an incredibly complex instrument, the way he can evoke every mood, from serenity to storm, and, when the occasion arises, improvise like a master--which, of course, is exactly what he is. So while this isn't the all-time best of Shankar--that would require a hefty box set--it's the cream of a certain time in his career. And the best of Shankar is always glorious indeed. --Chris Nickson\n\nProduct Description\n\nShankar, Ravi\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 001934115822\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0001934115822\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel:\u003c\/b\u003e 1983682\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e audioCD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45968725868578,"sku":"PI-QS5B-PLQ8","price":10.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/61WywCn9u_L.jpg?v=1783688230","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/best-of-ravi-shankar","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
