  • 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.
    You can see the sitar in the Sir Joseph Hotung Gallery of China and South Asia: goo.gl/yqE6XQ

    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 ?

    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!!

    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.

    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.

    • @Geke1008

      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.

      @@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.

      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.
