The notes of HOMAGE TO MAHATMA ,was composed on the spot by RaviShankar while taking part in a Radio broadcast, soon after MAHATMA GANDHI was assasinated in 1948,but the music was recorded much later in the 70's..and the album made 10 years later in 1981.

Classical music Of The Sub-continent

this is one of the best dvds i have ever seen. not only does it give an accurate picture of the daily toils of the celebrity ravishankar as well as the father and husband ravishankar, but it also gives the performer ravishankar with the second disc of him with his immensly talented daughter Anoushka Shankar and world class precussionists bikram ghosh and tanmay bose (i think!). this was truly an exceptional and unique dvd as i have seen nothing similar for any other indian / hindustani (north indian) / carnatic (south indian) musician. this built up a brilliant image of his childhood and past as well as sharing his 80th birthday with us. i thought this was an extremely well thought out unique brilliant dvd well worth the money. ...
What can i say! Pandit Ravi Shankarji is an absolute legend. Having met him twice I have had the experience of meeting a true guru of music. This cd is what you can really call world global fusion. Its a lovely blend of all sorts of music but it also has some indian classical tracks such as track 5 which happens to be my absolute favourite! i love it to bits. The whole thing is very well orchestrated. The music is also astheitically pleasing and there are some good on the go tracks for car/ train journeys! :D
This cd is an amazing blend of indian modes and scales with western ideaology and orchestration but the combination is so well done that the result blows you away. I would definately reccomend this to anyone who is interested in world music. Also, it is great for people learning about orchestration or fusion. ...

Additional notes
Album Notes
Personnel include: Ravi Shankar (sitar). As the most recognized Indian musician in the world, Ravi Shankar has influenced Western rock and pop, traveled and performed internationally, and broken the barriers between classic precepts and a pan-global approach to music-making. Interestingly, no matter how high his international profile, Shankar's music has always remained rooted in the Indian classical tradition; in this way, it is simultaneously progressive and true to its origins. This paradox is at the heart of Shankar's music, and is fully evident on the two-disc set THE ESSENTIAL RAVI SHANKAR. Shankar's sitar playing, with his evocative ragas and dizzying runs, entrances the listener, and his level of interplay with his fellow musicians is at a consistently high caliber, achieving a supreme level of harmonic and rhythmic sophistication. There are several Shankar compilations on the market, but the ESSENTIAL ranks among the best.
