That instrument always appeared to me to be hard to play and even more difficult to master. She is really good. Obviously she learned from the master himself. Great vid, thx for posting.
How hard is the sitar to learn to play? I am always interested in adding new stringed instruments to my repertoire. I've learned to play the banjo, bouzouki, and lute so far, and this looks interesting.
What does it matter? It was brilliant. I am currently going through the whole of the concert and wondering where was I when this brilliant event took place.
First off, fucktard, I was being respecfull. You must be a brit. And it does matter. Females dont always get what they deserve. So in essence, fuck off.
It sure is. Sitar and veena are actually meant to be played by both sexes. In the Vedic scriptures veena was played by both Narada Muni (male) and Devi Saraswati (female). Sitar is a descendant of the veena so the same rules apply. :)
She just doesn't have the Music. She is more into technique. Wonderful yes..but its like when you listen to a really amazing Dream Theater song and think you like 'Run to the Hills' better.

ummmmmmmm.........HOLLY FACK.....the end was so good was retarded (in a good way)... n anu is gorgeous. their is somthing about a girl with a sitar... my new years resolution is to make a 2010 calendar for hot naked chicks with sitars.
Her hands just fly down the sitar. The sitar is a gorgeous instrument. She is too. It's kind of funny, because the sitar is considered a classical instrument, so it's like the violin in their culture, really classic and beautiful.
I can definitely appreciate the work and expression that she has shown here, even though the sitar is not one of my favorite instruments. I would consider her a virtuoso given this much talent. :-)
she is such an amazing player ... it takes a long time to get to that level of expression on any instrument ... virtuosity, passion, and depth ... and well ... beautiful ... what other word more perfectly captures this soul embodiment?
NOOUH! shes mine! "sim sim salabim" I didn't make that up BTW, it came from Johnny Quest- wow, what a hottie... daughter of one of the most talented musicians ever ftw.
This is amazing ... If u guys like this music,u shud go to India and check out the local concerts, Its not glamorous and theyrs nobody shouting in the crowd, but the music is mindblowing...
shes amazing. and im not even on drugs. wish i had a sitar and could wail on it like her. shes eazy on the eyes too. this is a good tune for in the sac
I was at the Royal Opera House from early morning to late evening, for rehearsals, the concert and the reception. Being the shy person I am, I only looked on in awe: Anoushka was always surrounded by her colleagues, but I sat entranced, watching her rehearsal and the actual performance from the wings: the sound of the sitar sort of washes over you and captures your soul and imagination, doesn't it? Best Wishes, Bob
The best day of my life was in June 2000, playing in a concert at London's Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. I was playing the Scottish Highland Pipes, accompanying Lulu singing "Amazing Grace". Lulu's just great! And also performing was Anoushka Shankar - I loved her playing - and Ravi was in the audience. Name-dropping again: Madonna, Brian Adams, Jimmy Nail, Angharad Rees, Vanessa Redgrave, dancers from Moulin Rouge et al. all performed too. What a great bunch of guys. Bob Ash
I can't help but think that if the Universe made music we could hear, it would sound something like this. You really get the feeling of life and creation in this music.
She's a gifted Sitat player, but in some way i'm always left with my mouth wide open looking at her!!! She's gorgious
