About this album
A landmark fusion of Indian classical music and Western orchestral writing, Concerto for Sitar & Orchestra brings Ravi Shankar’s sitar into dialogue with André Previn’s symphonic approach. 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.
