West Meets East: The Historic Shankar/Menuhin Sessions

by Ravi Shankar, Yehudi Menuhin

Overview

West Meets East: The Historic Shankar/Menuhin Sessions collects the best from Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Menuhin's three West Meets East albums (originally released in 1967, 1968, and 1976). This compilation features "Prabhati" and "Swara-Kakali" from the first album, "Raga Piloo" and "Dhun" from the second, and "Tenderness" and "Twilight Mood" from the third. All of the tracks feature the hypnotic interplay of Menuhin's violin and Shankar's sitar that made the individual albums critically and commercially popular when they were first released. ~ Heather Phares
