Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great
Play it in the background while entertaining, cleaning the house or just relaxing. Plug it into your MP3 and create your own little sanctuary. Namasté.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Listen to the CD before you buy
One should listen to this CD before considering a purchase. Historical perspectives are interesting for intellectuals and historians, but it doesn't make the music any more than it is. As a world music fan of 30 odd years I would say this one is 'lame', so buyer beware.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An essential introduction to a master musician
Other reviewers here have noted that, if all you want is one CD of Ravi Shankar's music, this 2-CD set ought to do the trick. It also works as a good capsule introduction to Ravi-ji and his music; Disc One is a more pure distillation of Hindustani music, where Disc Two gives the listener a sampling of his collaborations with Western artists, all of whom seem to have had a good grasp on what was needed to make the collaborations work (not always the case with cross-cultural experiments).

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - if you were to only have one
If you were to only have one CD of Ravi Shankar's... this would be the one to have. I have several, and have been a fan of Indian Music since my introduction to the sound via the Beatles' Norwegian Wood (1965).
These discs in "The Essential" span works throughout the life-to-date of the Master Musician. From his virtuosic days when he rose to be the best Sitarist in the World, to later compositions and collaborations with very notable Western Musicians and Western modes.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Journey to India by Sitar lesson
A great addition to your world music collection.

This is a masterpiece of the Sitar maestro, Ravi Shankar, definitly worth your time and money.

All in one classic Indian/ Hindi music, ranging from basic and yet elegant Sitar notes to sizziling ones with Tabla.

You'll be literally amazed by the master fingers running through those Sitar's 20 strings all at once by a legendary Ravi Shankar.

Again, this is a significant collection to all world music lovers. ... Read More
