About\u00a0In Concert 1972:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n “In Concert 1972\u00a0<\/i>was originally released via Apple Records in 1973, with a statement that read: “Within the small community of Brilliantly Gifted Musicians there exists an even smaller world of Masters. Two of these masters recently joined together in concert …”\u00a0The album features two of Indian Classical music’s greatest artists at the height of their powers, the sitar maestro\u00a0Ravi Shankar<\/a>\u00a0and master of the sarod,\u00a0Ali Akbar Khan. The album captures the live recordings from a performance that took place at\u00a0New York City’s\u00a0Philharmonic Hall\u00a0on\u00a0October 8, 1972\u00a0and was produced by\u00a0George Harrison\u00a0(with\u00a0Zakir Hussain and Phil McDonald). Featuring tabla accompaniment by the great\u00a0Alla Rakha, this mesmerizing concert comprises three ragas played in the\u00a0jugalbandi<\/i>style (or a duet played by two solo musicians) and became a poignant tribute to the guru of both soloists (and the father of Ali Akbar), the great\u00a0Allauddin Khan, who had died but a month previously. Audio for this reissue was sourced from\u00a0the original master 1\/4″\u00a0analogue tapes which were digitized at FPSHOT (Friar Park Studio Henley On Thames) and remastered by\u00a0Paul Hicks, Gavin Lurssen & Reuben Cohen at Lurssen Mastering\u00a0(Hi-Res\u00a096\/24 and 192\/24 audio\u00a0also available).”<\/p>\n Stream or download\u00a0In Concert<\/i>\u00a0here.<\/a><\/b> About\u00a0Chants of India<\/i>:<\/b><\/p>\n “Chants of India<\/i>\u00a0by Ravi Shankar and produced by George Harrison\u00a0was originally released in 1997 on Angel Records. Recorded in Madras, India, and Henley-on-Thames, UK, this collaboration was referred to by\u00a0Shankar as “one of the most difficult challenges in my life, as a composer and arranger”, and draws upon the sacred Sanskrit texts of the\u00a0Vedas, Upanishads\u00a0<\/i>and other scriptures.\u00a0He added,\u00a0“the repetitive use of mantras invoke a special power within oneself and I have tried to imbibe this age-old tradition in this recording… into which I have poured my heart and soul.”\u00a0Audio for this reissue was sourced from the original Digital master tapes, also remastered by\u00a0Paul Hicks, Gavin Lurssen & Reuben Cohen at Lurssen.”<\/p>\n Stream or download\u00a0Chants of India<\/i>\u00a0here.<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/dev.nysmusic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/chants_new.jpg\")
