iconic artist, so three cheers to BBC Opus Arte forRavi Shankar in Portrait, a two-DVD set that explores the life and work of the man George Harrison described as "the godfather of world music"."Between Two Worlds" is a substantial 10-part documentary, telling the sitar player's life story up to his 80th birthday celebrations in 2000. The film is littered with archive footage, including the young Shankar performing with his brother's dance troupe, an emotional reunion with his teacher and guru Baba Allauddin Khan, and his celebrated collaborations with musicians such as John Coltrane, Yehudi Menuhin and The Beatles.The second part features Shankar performing with a group of Indian musicians, including his daughter Anoushka, herself a celebrated sitar player, at the Union Chapel in London during summer 2002. The electric atmosphere is well captured here, as is the intimacy of the performance. A 19-minute introduction to Indian music and the sitar, delivered by Shankar himself, rounds off the set.On the DVD:Ravi Shankar in Portraitfeatures both stereo and surround sound options for the concert performance. Subtitles are provided in German, Spanish and French. The accompanying booklet provides a useful introduction to Shankar as well as biographies of his fellow performers. --Rebecca Agnew

this is one of the best dvds i have ever seen. not only does it give an accurate picture of the daily toils of the celebrity ravi shankar as well as the father and husband ravi shankar, but it also gives the performer ravi shankar with the second disc of him with his immensly talented daughter Anoushka Shankar and world class precussionists bikram ghosh and tanmay bose (i think!). this was truly an exceptional and unique dvd as i have seen nothing similar for any other indian / hindustani (north indian) / carnatic (south indian) musician. this built up a brilliant image of his childhood and past as well as sharing his 80th birthday with us. i thought this was an extremely well thought out unique brilliant dvd well worth the money.
A film documenting the legendary musician's seven decades of musical innovation with performances from the 1930s to the present day plus a concert recorded in 2002 with his daughter Anoushka.
