Conductor: Zubin Mehta
Soloist: Anoushka Shankar
Ravi Shankar
Concerto for sitar and orchestra No. 2 Raga-Mala
Anoushka Shankar, Sitar
Béla Bartók
Concerto for orchestra Sz 116
The Indian sitar player Ravi Shankar was one of the great musical intermediaries between East and West. His work Raga-Mala links the art of sitar improvisation with the performed playing of a classical concert: an exciting journey into a faraway world. The soloist in this performance is the composer’s daughter Anoushka Shankar; the conductor is Zubin Mehta, who was his friend for many years. Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra concludes the evening.
