Music reviews of Vision of Peace: The Art of Ravi Shankar
Music Review: Essential Explorations into World Music
Rating: 5 Stars
This compilation collects several of Ravi Shankar's lesser known but crucial recordings. The second disc captures two essential of his known explorations into the ragas that are the standard of Indian classical music but leave much ground for improvisation. The first disc however, is the stand out as it finally brings to cd, a long out of print lp "East Greets East" that has Ravi Shankar playing with known Japanese classical musicians and the interplay between the Japanese classical pieces (with standard instrumentation such as the koto and shakuhachi) and the sitar and tabla (with room for solo works from each group) create an essential interplay between two genres of traditional ethnic music that leave out the new age trappings that often dampen the genre of world music. This is one of Ravi Shankar's most successful collaborations becauase: West Meets East: The Historic Shankar Menuhin Collection is somewhat unsuccesful in that Ravi Shankar's music does not benefit from traditional western orchestration and:
Passages although an idea that was long overdue (since Philip Glass was inspired to begin his journey into minimalism by working with directly with Ravi Shankar) is somewhat less than successful again due to the quasi new age aspects of the work (a genre which has become dated, while the important works within it have returned to the original genres they stemmed from as new age from the beginning was destroyed by rampant commercialism). Although clearly as a first listen one would purchase a more known work by Ravi Shankar such as:
India's Master Musician with "Vision of Peace" having three classic ragas plus an exploration into world music that has never been attempted before or since by Ravi Shankar this is a well worthwhile purchase.
