A sitar performance by Anoushka Shankar

- One of Ravi Shankar’s sitars was donated to the British Museum and is now on display in the Sir Joseph Hotung Gallery of China and South Asia.
In this video, Shankar’s daughter Anoushka Shankar plays extracts from two compositions on the sitar that was owned by her father. The first is a composition by her father based on the Carnatic raga Charu Keshi, in the rhythmic cycle of teental (16 beats). The second is Anoushka’s own improvisation on the raga Manj Khamaj.

Here Anoushka sounds a real Ravi Shankar disciple indeed . Pure Raagdari with short but intense alap and crystal clear techniques . Why don't we get a chance to hear this Anoushka often ?
Don't know how I landed here...but that was amazing...
She has the dexterity to present anything immaculately that she touched
I started classical Indian music this year. Doing harmonium and sitar in raag durga as my first foray into the world, so lucky to have found such an art to appreciate
My Desire of so long time is now fulfilled..
I was searching this kind of thing that boost and feed food to my soul.
Finally my search got its end here on this artist..
Drop of rain on the leaf of soul ! Her Sitar playing is inhaling essance of life in.
She seems so at peace when she's playing; it's really quite beautiful to watch and listen. I only discovered her music recently.
I love how nice this sounds. Many artists are very famous for only singing, but she desevres to be way more famous since she plays it so well and it's a lot harder than singing, that's for sure. Well done, Anoushka!!
No one else on Earth can make love to a musical instrument the way Anoushka does.
she is so freaking beautiful, as the music she canalize
Awesome performance, this lady has all the skills of her father, and all the passion. What tallent in that family to immerse people in a culture and make it appear effortless
So beautifully anushkaji plays,and so beautiful is the music which comes out of her.
Wonderful, as always Anoushka is!
She always calms me down with her soothing music when I need a relief
It's so beautiful that it brings tears to your eyes.

Amazing 👏 talent, absolutely 💯 magical sound, beautiful, riveting ....😲❣
Beautiful playing. I especially liked her own improvisation (the second part). Various styles of playing and lots of feeling in that piece.
You are so amazing. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world.
*Goddess* ❤️

One either likes this kind of music or one does not. If you like it then you understand it, but if you dislike it then you have not listened to it neither understood it. As an Australian who loves to listen to Mahlour; and like the Sitar one must listen to understand and in that understanding comes joy in listening.
Very emotional and uniq compositions
the force is strong
i love it
Wow awesome player
Ano that was wonderfull.
Beautiful. Would like to have a video with her commenting on the technique of the music she performed.
That was really bloody impressive!!!
I'm here because a season 25 (episode 6) Simpsons introduction sequence made the Sitar seem like it could be a cool sounding instrument. I'm stunned to see how true that is. She is amazing, she really is!!!
Perfect.
Adorable !
I LOVE IT
we love you,f from USA
Captivating & Mesmerising
genius to my ears
Beautiful❤
Her fingers are moving way faster than I can blink ...hats off
Amazing
Thank you. You made me think
This, I think, is her father's sitar. If so there is a definite difference between his and her sounds. I like hers more. My grandfather made violins in the US. It's wooden music as is the sitar. I can tell the difference. Ravi's is probably much older and old school I imagine. Anoushka's sitar seems to have a much more beautiful "voice" as I call it. And with a lady's touch it stands out. Just my thoughts as I listen to her playing his.
The description seems to imply that here she is seen playing inside the British Museum, on one of her father’s sitars that was donated to it.
Maybe you know this, but anyway: Indian music differs from western music in that it prescribes much less, giving the performing artist the task/opportunity to use their musical knowledge - all good Indian musicians are teachers/professors. In fact, there is no such thing as "playing as the composer intended it", but instead the idea is to express one’s own creativity as well as one’s personality. Therefore, one and the same raga can sound very different every time it’s played, depending on the artist’s mood, the venue, the public… at least several times more so than with a western classical piece if I try to quantify it. (Which also means that when listening to a recording, one never gets the full picture/experience.) And between artists, the difference is many times greater.
motorcycle sound cleaner and more elegant
@@Geke1008 You are right. It is said that an Indian classical musician's each performance is unique, in the sense that he or she creates a composition anew during every individual performance. If you attend his /her concerts repeatedly, you may find something different every time.
Anoushka plays completely from her father's book . He revolutionized sitar playing , added a new dimension . Anoushka is very good .But she doesnt played something that hasn't been played before .
@@shoumomukherjee5662literally no? She has experimented so much especially on her albums ‘Traveller’ ‘land of gold’ etc…..the flamenco and indian classical collaboration was nothing like that has ever been done before! You know nothing of her music
Sublime
Excellent👍 👌👌
I don't know wheteher any heaven or hell,is there or not ... but if any heaven is there ..this is it....u playing this beautiful raga.
This is love ❤️
Fabulous.
It's CHARUKESI ragam in Carnatic music. She is simply mesmerising
Superb
The further I get in my music journey, the more impressive her performance is. Just saying.
superb!
sublime ARTISTA!
Very well played.
Lifetimes of respect to Ravi, but I honestly think her playing might resonate with me a little more than his did. No surprise though.. I guess she learned from the best
I honestly think she's a brilliant musician in her own right and feel like people too often view her as her father's daughter, rather than as a deity of sound and art and life herself...
bonjour Anoushka votre musique continu a nourrir mon espris comme la fait dejas ton pere الله ارحمو

Lovely music.
Can someone identify the Raga? Thanks.
Cant it be longer?
Teen tall very kamal
Every time I hear a Sitar I break into George Harrison singing voice.
How much for a piece of Sitar? I need it.😌
:)
hypnotic badassery
How many instruments am hearing? I hear drones, washes, crashes, and counter notes outside of the picking that she doesn't appear to be playing.

Wow, so amazing!! Also is that the sitar her father played at Woodstock!?!?
Probably not. He was using even older sitars during that time. I looked at one picture of his at Monterey Pop festival from 1967 and that sitar looks older. Apparently his design for the instruments got more elaborate as the years went by. The British Museum piece seems a more recent version. This is all pure speculation.
Fun fact, this is Norah Jones's step sister.
Yes they are both from the same father.
That would make them half sisters.....not stepsisters.
Pandit shri ravi shankar is alive in u 😊
Wah i love It
PlZz
Some sad playing .....
So painful for you
smallberg....
Why are you so cruelll . My love...
I wish I could touch the sitar:(
