Ravi Shankar – The Sounds of India, 180 g vinyl record

The Sounds of India is a 1957 album by the sitar player Ravi Shankar, recorded to introduce Western listeners to classical Indian music. This Indian music on vinyl is a limited vinyl record pressed on heavy 180 g vinyl.

Each track is preceded by a short commentary from the artist himself, so the record serves as an educational introduction to ragas and Indian rhythms. The sitar playing is shown here in its full richness: from calm, meditative improvisations to lively, rhythmic passages.

Ravi Shankar (1920–2012) was regarded as one of the best-known sitar players of the 20th century and a composer of Hindustani music. This edition suits a world music collection and fans of ethnic and folk recordings. The vinyl format with 180-gram pressing gives a stable, warm sound. The publisher is Waxtime.
