A veritable gem..with virtuoso tabla of Chatur Lal recorded in 1963 when Shankar had fire in his belly ..was in his early prime....the majestic start ...the meandering melody thus reconditions the soul inculcating in it a certain sense of levitation.. imbued with divinity..a kind of mantra..a dialogue with God...elevates you to Nirvana ..leads you to Valhalla and firmly deposits you there ... sempiternally...tabla solo in the middle ( 5:51 to 8:44) by Chatur Lal is simply mesmerizing! And 8:44 to 10-45 is probably one of the best and perfect sitar/tabla rapport ( jugalbandi) of all time! Don't miss 5:22 to 6:35 sitar engages in a dialogue with tabla then fades gracefully to make way for tabla solo....if ever there was a magical music tour this is it...this is it...and this is it...Ravi Shankar and Chatur Lal here transport you to a world where music is redefined...and reinvented...... coruscating with a thousand nuances of vibrating colour...transforming the banal into a source of wonder.... and wonderment...

  • @Greebo666 totally agree, im in pretty much the same boat. my top thee influences musially are mark morton james hetfield and ravi shankar hah

  • @thedoors919 Don't hurt yourself.

  • It goes without saying that it has to be one of the masterpieces from the Maestros... Why to say the obvious?

    I love the description of the video... Very well summed up ! The nuances.

  • Too good

  • Love it and the Master!!

  • Love his music and has since the early 60 ties. Funny he asked people not to smoke at the Roskilde Festival back in .... the 70 ties. OUT DOORS! Well besides from that - He and his crew is good ;-)
