Recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra and first issued in 1971, the work helped bring Shankar’s artistry to a wider classical audience while showing how non-Western instruments could be framed in a concert setting without losing identity. Previn’s orchestral writing gives the solo line space and tension, and the result is one of the most distinctive cross-cultural concert works of its era, balancing structure, improvisation and lyrical intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/global-music-on-vinyl-records\"\u003eGlobal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ravi-shankar-vinyl-records\"\u003eRavi Shankar\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/andre-previn\"\u003eAndré Previn\u003c\/a\u003e, London Symphony Orchestra\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e His Master's Voice – ASD 2752\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Album, Repress\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_uk\"\u003eUK\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1972\"\u003e1972\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/global-music-on-vinyl-records\"\u003eGlobal\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eConcerto For Sitar \u0026amp; Orchestra (Dedicated To Ustad Allaudin Khan)\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"His Master's Voice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43776145719361,"sku":"5328163","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/Ni5qcGVn_1Nm9aMC.jpg?v=1776238162"},{"product_id":"ravi-shankar-alla-rakha-sound-of-the-sitar-365802","title":"Ravi Shankar, Alla Rakha – Sound Of The Sitar (VG\/VG+) – LP, NZ 1967","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Second Hand\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedia: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good (VG)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCover: \u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComments: \u003c\/strong\u003e Scuffing on disc that does not affect play.\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSound Of The Sitar is an LP by \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ravi-shankar-vinyl-records\"\u003eRavi Shankar\u003c\/a\u003e, Alla Rakha from 1967 released on the Festival Records label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n    \u003ch2 class=\"product-about-heading\"\u003eAbout this album\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eSound Of The Sitar is a landmark Hindustani classical album, pairing Ravi Shankar’s lyrical sitar with Alla Rakha’s propulsive tabla. Issued in 1966, it presents the duo in a focused, elegant setting that highlights melodic development, rhythmic invention and the conversational depth at the heart of Indian classical music. Shankar’s international profile helped bring the sitar to a wider global audience in the 1960s, while Rakha’s subtle virtuosity gives the performance its drive and balance. The result is a concise, enduring statement of classical discipline and expressive freedom, with pieces such as Tala Sawari and Pahari Dhun illustrating its range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/global-music-on-vinyl-records\"\u003eGlobal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/ravi-shankar-vinyl-records\"\u003eRavi Shankar\u003c\/a\u003e, Alla Rakha\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/festival-records-record-label\"\u003eFestival Records\u003c\/a\u003e – SFL-932040\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP, Stereo\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_new-zealand\"\u003eNew Zealand\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReleased: \u003c\/strong\u003e  \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/all\/year_1967\"\u003e1967\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/global-music-on-vinyl-records\"\u003eGlobal\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hindustani\"\u003eHindustani\u003c\/a\u003e, \n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indian-classical\"\u003eIndian Classical\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eRaga Malkauns\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Ravi+Shankar,+Alla+Rakha+Tala+Sawari+(Tabla+Solo)\"\u003eTala Sawari (Tabla Solo)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Ravi+Shankar,+Alla+Rakha+Pahari+Dhun\"\u003ePahari Dhun\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Festival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43956550205505,"sku":"4419091","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/MC01MjExLmpwZWc.jpg?v=1779261212"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/collections\/ravi-shankar-vinyl-records\/media-condition_very-good-vg.oembed","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
