Shankar - Sitar Concertos And Other Works
Review by Ирина Шалашова
Shankar's album, Sitar Concertos and Other Works, is a beautiful and intricate collection of Indian classical music. The album showcases Shankar's virtuosic skills on the sitar, and his ability to seamlessly blend traditional Indian music with contemporary Western styles.
The album opens with the stunning Sitar Concerto No. 1, which features the sitar as the solo instrument backed by a full orchestra. Shankar's playing is mesmerizing, and the orchestra provides a lush and dynamic backdrop for his virtuosic runs and intricate melodies.
Other standouts on the album include the hauntingly beautiful "Raga-Mala," which showcases Shankar's ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his playing, and the lively and energetic "Concerto for Sitar and Orchestra No. 2."
