A memorable occasion - my first project with the legendary Ustad Amjad Ali Khan
My concerto Samaagam with @SCOmusic which premiered in 2009 at @stmagnus in Orkney Islands youtu.be/seLU903VzAc
So great to see this again - and for newcomers to Indian classical music what wonderful, fun introduction to the sound world of Sitar and Tabla. Sheer genius!
Here's a Ravi Shankar treat from 1957: Norman McLaren's short film "A Chairy Tale" (10mins) in 1080p quality, with soundtrack by Ravi (sitar) & Chatur Lal (tabla). Recorded in Montreal in March 1957. 'A beautiful metaphor for relationships' said Ravi. youtu.be/NSRjRctL8XA
