Every musician has his/her own style, there's no ONE style, but as many styles as musicians.. dig with it and chose the one you like... Said that, you can't say that the Shankars are not good players... damn they're good.
Please, don't fight. I've heard Banerjee, and is really impressive. I don't know Vilayat Khan, but I'll search for it. And I still love Ravi Shankar sitar, cause he's the first buttefly that came to my garden. I know indian music cause of him.
I'm brazilian. If I'd fight with anyone who tells about Tom Jobim without knowing Radamés, or anyone who likes Cartola without knowing Silas de Oliveira, I'd be a sad man. But we don't need to depreciate one to apreciate another. We can hear them all.
That such different feels come from two students of the same guru (Allaudin Khan) is pretty amazing...and a testament to a great teacher. I prefer Nikhil. But I fully respect RS.
I respect Ravi Shankar, for the vast knowledge he has.
But his playing, and then of his daughter's, is nervous, very much focused on staccatos, on strong plucking. I prefer the flowing style of Nikhil Banerjee.
Those hailing R. Shankar and Anoushka WITHOUT knowing other sitar players should care about my comments.
RS is widely famous because he was the 1st Indian musician who showed the West the Indian classical music in the 60's. But that doesn't make him nor Anoushka outstanding players.
Check out Annapurna Devi & Nikhil Banerjee. Only then one can appreciate all these artists with more common sense.
"Catching a butterfly under our nose is easy, exploring the forest is less easier".
@NovaScotiaChick Mate, heart & soul is what's being talked about. "Each to his own" sure, but only if one has listened to others AND THEN expressed his preference. One cannot give away his heart exclusively to the first musician without hearing others. As for Pandit RS, too many have only listened to him and tagged him as THE sitar player of all times. This kind of listening leads to ignorance.
@NovaScotiaChick And another thing. I'm not bashing on Pandit RS. For instance, his Puriya Dhanashri in Jhaptal is still my favorite. I haven't found a better rendition on sitar until today.
Oh whoopie. What a heavy dude. The reason they are leading us to the “more” is because most westerners are out to lunch on caffeine. The west likes staccato. If you have a butterfly under your nose, you need to clean your face.
I saw Anoushka and her father Ravi play live a few years ago in Toronto, must've been around 2006 or so. One of the best music performances I've seen, of any genre, ever. The music, and the way they play, it's incredible... You become so gripped watching such talented/skilled artists like them playing this beautiful instrument with a sound like no other... :)
very relaxing but aslo a mysterious sound. I play guitar but would love to learn the sitar. How much money does a sitar cost? The percusion really sets the sitar off.
@fritzy2112 The last time I checked for prices the range was from about $950 to up to $5000. They're beautiful though, worth it especially if you have the time/patience/commitment to put into learning it properly :)
If you ever get a chance to see this sort of thing live, do not miss it. I have been amazed each time I have done so. I grew up on blues, jazz, classics and opera.
I had the privilege of sitting in the front row at Ravi and Anoushka's Melbourne concert which was Ravi's farewell tour. Wonderful and inspiring to hear them playing. Happy memories. Thank you for posting this.
@ABanerj84 You are wrong in assuming Anoushka doesn't play alap. Listen to this in Raga Madhuvanti. This was performed in the concert in Carnegie Hall. As I rate it, this alap is the best I ever heard. Search for madhuvanti alap and play the first result.
Aoushka you have read the rhythm of life! My mind is synchronized with your great rhythm of music. Be a continuous and profound source of joy to mankind.
@gofuserect You're comparing Norah Jones to her sister? They were both raised in entirely two different cultures and different styles of music. Ravi Shankar didn't have anything to do with Norah's life whatsoever, that's why she dropped Shankar from her name. Anoushka was raised by Shankar and taught her the sitar and Indian culture. However, despite the rift with her father, the two sisters were still able to come together.
hindustani classical music transcends the material world and in its vibration allows us to touch a little bit of the higher planes of vibration and Beingness.

Well u my friend seem to be a very angry person , why is it that your so angry? really tho? Oh and im gonna just light up a big fat motherfucking blunt right now and i will think of you hahahahha your a sad bastard by the way ! oh and did i mention FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK & FUCK.....So ya im just gonna get on with my life and leave your sad self to be angry ...And btw jay walking is also illegal you CONFORMIST FUCKWIT... BYE NOW
Youre both imbeciles. I smoke weed and it doesn't make me a lowlife, but swearing all the time just shows you lack any proper vocabulary.

If you'd like to meet up with me someplace where I can teach you some respect for the law let me know. I'll show you how a military man deals with slackers.

@koletski21 im not gonna argue with you your obviously narrow minded and probly very very stupid im tired of people like you youve never met me so you cant call me lazy i do roofing for a living and when im not working i train and fight mma id say thats far from lazy and i have a degree in philosophy and studying for one in psychology and morals have nothing to do with weed it makes me sad that you think that way i wish i could help you but you dont wanna learn from others you just wanna judge
I want to marry this amazing woman my fiance is just as beautiful maybe more beautiful but she cant play the sitar in fact she cant play any of her own national music she is an moroccan arab i guess thats my loss because i can play the music of my irish culture if i have children i want them to know the music from both cultures
For fear of being disappointed, I never listened to Anoushka until today. After so many years of raving about Ravi, I honestly thought I would not be impressed, possibly not even like what she did. But boy, can she play! It is amazing to watch her. She definitely has her own sound, passion and greatness. Always good to be pleasantly surprised!
I don't understand how anything negative can be brought up in here. Every thread it seems there is someone bringing their negativity. We just want to hear music. Go away or evolve into already.
@wasteyelo bro you're at stalker status. Yeah she's hot but I've seen hotter. She's talented and should make an electric sitar so I can headbang to it
@Hanginskeleton Dear Lord.. Headbang to sitar? Have you been headbanging your cranium against a wall? An Electric Sitar would be an amazing creation, however. With right pedals and effects it could be psychedelic and magnificent. But, it is already that in a whole.
Rethink your thought there, however. Sitar would not pair so well with chaotic screaming lyrics.
This piece of music is stunning. I adore it but, there is one thing that eclipses it and that is the physical beauty of Anoushka herself. It's enough to knock a man off his feet. In fact, it has.
nothing compares to the power of music, its touching you but its untouchable, its soul without a body and it can touch a soul like no other kind of art. expecally this kind of music... irresistable
people that are not interested in music must be dead on the inside
@karz12, good guess, "char" is 4 in Hindi (derived from Persian I guess), but Charukeshi is Sanskrit not Hindi. The individual words in the compound are charu+keshi
so keshi means hair, but did you put a (f) to denote that it is a feminine word. There are feminine and masculine words in Sanskrit? Does Hindi have feminine and masculine words?
Nouns can be masculine, feminine or neuter in Sanskrit (same as in Avestan and Old Persian which are evolved from the same source "Indo-Iranian") although I think modern Persian has lost genders.
In Hindi, there are no neuter nouns, but masc vs fem exists.
The inflection, the touch Ravi's touch Physiology? She never drives by. I leave the door cracked a little , the flowers are in the bowl. She is not coming1 She has been here, she is spoiled and willful She leaves , I am sad. i miss her.. this is what I hear.
Anoushka certainly has a legacy to live up to, i have heard many recordings of her and have attended many of her concerts and at this point in life, her performing content is alright, but one more aspect that would make it better is adding bhav or depth into her music. This bhav can be of spiritualism as well as aesthetics in playing which she needs to develop to excell and reach her father's status. This is the difference between young and amatuer musicians and legends

Indian raga music goes round in circles, building up to a spiritual experience... western classical music tends to be linear also building to a spiritual experience...
This music is much older, and more advanced than what the average listener is exposed to. It almost has a mathematical bearing, but not like the sewing machine precision of German music. It has feeling. The only music comparable is the Spanish Dance. Listen, and you will see the correlation. Variable times, feelings.
What I found, as a musician, funny and interesting about indian classical is that I don't get it all. It is something beyond me. That makes me want to explore its very depths and learn where its absolute beauty lies.
@Raekzo To a large extent, most lovers of Indian classical music including the
arists who perform would share your sentiments. I once herad an artist on a TV show mention that this music is a strange well that does not seem to have
an end. The more you try to fathom its depth, the deeper it gets.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@warlockboyburns eR, not a pop comment. I'm sickened that so many should resent and hate your comment. Excuse me while I call them corporate whore scum, and then rant a little about their tight twee twittering cuntish little minds oh how the music opens me, prises their scum cunts wide for filling and slashing and bring me your precious twittering little minds to slash and ride and slash you scum cunts ride ride ride
Great, great....Makes me want to go to India right now and meditate on a Goa beach... I was at a concert with her on Roskilde Festival in Denmark `07, just wonderful.
There is more to music than "virtuosity". Your comments reveal that you are both musically shallow and naive on the whole notion of fame. And a hater. Grow up.
@PirateBooty68 im very sorry for that.it sounded like you were insulting her music. i really like the music.its very relaxing.again im sorry for ofending you .
@rondogon48 Since you don't wish to elaborate let me just say that if I wish to defend Ms Shankar from people bad mouthing her talent and the musical taste of those that love her music, both of which were insulted by an individual, I will, and you can take your own advice.
I have been listening to Ravi Shankar since I was 14 or 15, so around 32 years now. Discovering Anoushka is one of the great events of my life. She's a beautiful girl who plays beautiful music from a beautiful soul. We need a lot more like her. Human existence has been compromised over several centuries. People like Anoushka are working to restore it. Play on, Sweetheart. Play on.
@gldhntr Ditto for me on how long I have been exposed to Shankar. Anoushka is incredible and so lovely. Watching her do The Inner Light on the Concert For George was magic for me to watch and was really a highlight of a great show.
For me ,as an European this music is special. Cant say is nice or not well done or not..this music maks me go deep down into a lovely meditation. Thanks good you take care our souls sending us on these special meetings with for instance now ..Anoushka and Ravi Shankar ....
A rare Raga very well played on the sitar. Music is certainly flowing in the veins of Anoushka Shankar, particularly in the family of Pandit Ravi Shankar..

This raga is one of the most beautiful ragaas, originally from carnatic music and popularized by Ravi Shankar.
While the playing was excellent I would have preferred more time spent on the alap and a steady buildup towards the rythmic part.
Its such a turn off that she jumps so quickly to a "jhor" speed. Just doesnt help in developing he mood and makes this a very light performance.
Maybe that was the intention, I am not sure what the context of this recording was.

@Hanginskeleton Dear Lord.. Headbang to sitar? Have you been headbanging your cranium against a wall? An Electric Sitar would be an amazing creation, however. With right pedals and effects it could be psychedelic and magnificent. But, it is already that in a whole.
Rethink your thought there, however. Sitar would not pair so well with chaotic screaming lyrics.

@hobosandbuttmonkeys I disagree :) Listen to the song "Shemhamforash" by the band Behemoth. Simply synergistically seductive...

This piece of music is stunning. I adore it but, there is one thing that eclipses it and that is the physical beauty of Anoushka herself. It's enough to knock a man off his feet. In fact, it has.
wasteyelo1 10 months ago 9
@wasteyelo1 well said
but if physical beauty overwhelms music then maybe there is something lacking in music ?

@candisuxxgood i can tell you what is lacking. A strong soul stirring alaap, which I have never heard from Anoushka.

Fair one!
I probably agree although I've no idea what one is...
I just was getting this kind of beat/ music in my head and found myself here through You Tube..;... dunno why;...
I don't care who plays what or what they look like to be honest..... can you recommend some "soul stirring" music to me please?

Charukeshi = 4 corners?
karz12 11 months ago
@karz12, good guess, "char" is 4 in Hindi (derived from Persian I guess), but Charukeshi is Sanskrit not Hindi. The individual words in the compound are charu+keshi
Charu = beautiful
keshi = hair (f)
srkris 11 months ago
@srkris hmm good to know
so keshi means hair, but did you put a (f) to denote that it is a feminine word. There are feminine and masculine words in Sanskrit? Does Hindi have feminine and masculine words?
karz12 11 months ago
@karz12
Yes kesha is masc, keshi is fem.
Nouns can be masculine, feminine or neuter in Sanskrit (same as in Avestan and Old Persian which are evolved from the same source "Indo-Iranian") although I think modern Persian has lost genders.
In Hindi, there are no neuter nouns, but masc vs fem exists.

Anoushka certainly has a legacy to live up to, i have heard many recordings of her and have attended many of her concerts and at this point in life, her performing content is alright, but one more aspect that would make it better is adding bhav or depth into her music. This bhav can be of spiritualism as well as aesthetics in playing which she needs to develop to excell and reach her father's status. This is the difference between young and amatuer musicians and legends

This music is much older, and more advanced than what the average listener is exposed to. It almost has a mathematical bearing, but not like the sewing machine precision of German music. It has feeling. The only music comparable is the Spanish Dance. Listen, and you will see the correlation. Variable times, feelings.

What I found, as a musician, funny and interesting about indian classical is that I don't get it all. It is something beyond me. That makes me want to explore its very depths and learn where its absolute beauty lies.
Raekzo 1 year ago 21
@Raekzo To a large extent, most lovers of Indian classical music including the
arists who perform would share your sentiments. I once herad an artist on a TV show mention that this music is a strange well that does not seem to have
an end. The more you try to fathom its depth, the deeper it gets.

I have been listening to Ravi Shankar since I was 14 or 15, so around 32 years now. Discovering Anoushka is one of the great events of my life. She's a beautiful girl who plays beautiful music from a beautiful soul. We need a lot more like her. Human existence has been compromised over several centuries. People like Anoushka are working to restore it. Play on, Sweetheart. Play on.
