India's Master Musician

Recorded in Hollywood, 'India's Master Musician' presents Ravi Shankar's virtuosic sitar performance in an intimate trio setting with the intricate tabla of Chatur Lal and the essential drone of Nodu Mullick's tamboura. The album was pivotal in introducing complex Indian classical forms to Western audiences, offering a cross-section of Hindustani music that ranges from the deep, improvisational explorations of evening ragas like 'Raga Puriya Dhanashri' to pieces based on the 'Kafi-Holi' festival and folk themes.
