Although introduced to a worldwide audience by his young acolyte George Harrison, Ravi Shankar was already respected as the finest exponent of the sitar in his native India, and beyond, well before he came to the attention of The Beatles.

Masterclass recordings from the late 50s and early 60s are included along with a 20 page booklet with an an essay on Ravi's life.
