Three Ragas (1956)

In 1956 uitgebracht als eerste langspeelplaat van Ravi Shankar, in 2000 digitaal geremasterd en opnieuw uitgebracht door Angel Records. "Perhaps Ravi Shankar's finest World Pacific record, Three Ragas is not only a fantastic artistic statement, but also an excellent introduction to the medium of Indian music itself. Performed by Shankar and a very simple trio, the pieces on this record show the true heart of Indian music at its most intimate. The second side, "Raga Jog," will take your breath away. A showcase in Indian ensemble performing as well as in Shankar's own endurance and grace, this side truly shows why he has been called (by David Crosby, no less) the finest musician on the planet". (Matthew Greenwald, Allmusic).
