Our Take

RAVI SHANKAR / ANDRE PREVIN - Shankar: Concerto For Sitar And Orchestra

If you’re looking for a musical experience that’s more mind-blowing than finding out your local barista is secretly a pro surfer, look no further than this collaboration between sitar legend Ravi Shankar and conductor extraordinaire Andre Previn.

From the moment the sitar strings start vibrating like a hummingbird on speed, you know you're in for a wild ride. Shankar’s intricate melodies swirl around like a hurricane, while Previn’s orchestra provides a lush backdrop that’s more comforting than a hug from your grandma.

The Concerto For Sitar And Orchestra is a mesmerizing journey through Eastern and Western musical traditions, like getting lost in a psychedelic dream where you’re wearing a tuxedo made out of tie-dye.

Tracks like “Alap” and “Jor” showcase Shankar’s virtuosity on the sitar, with each note dripping with more emotion than a soap opera marathon. Meanwhile, Previn’s orchestral arrangements add depth and complexity, like a gourmet meal made from unicorn tears and stardust.

Overall, this album is a must-listen for anyone who’s tired of the same old musical drivel. So sit back, relax, and let Shankar and Previn take you on a sonic adventure that’s more exhilarating than skydiving into a volcano. Trust us, you won’t regret it.
