It was premiered at London's Royal Festival Hall on 28 January 1971, and subsequently released in Britain and America.[1][2] DescriptionCompositionShankar began composing the work, his first concerto, after receiving a commission from the LSO in mid November 1970.[3] The idea of creating an Indian classical work for a full Western orchestra, accompanied by his sitar, appealed to Shankar following his forays into chamber music with violinist Yehudi Menuhin[1] – issued on West Meets East (1967) and West Meets East, Volume 2 (1968).[2] He dedicated the concerto to his music guru (teacher) Allauddin Khan, who was in poor health at the time.[6] Khan's composition Raga Manj Khamaj was one of the four ragas that Shankar adapted for the project.[3][4] AlbumThe album was produced by Christopher Bishop, recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, and released in 1971 on the EMI-owned record labels HMV and Angel, in Britain and America, respectively.[5][6][5] It received acclaim from some reviewers.[7] In America, the LP cover carried a quote from The Guardian{{'}}s music critic, Edward Greenfield, that read: "If East has to meet West, then few musicians have achieved it with such open joy as Ravi Shankar."[8] According to author Peter Lavezzoli, however, other critics considered it to be "a bastardization of two distinct forms of music".[9] The US release of Concerto for Sitar & Orchestra, in November 1971,[10] coincided with the world premiere of Shankar's autobiographical film Raga.[11] The album peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Best Selling Classical LP's chart in February 1972.[12] In November that year, EMI's US affiliate, Capitol Records, described the commercial performance of the album as the company's "biggest surprise" of 1972, adding that it had "sold like a pop record".[13] The second and third movements – based on the ragas Sindhi Bhairavi and Adana[14] – were included on the four-disc box set In Celebration (1996).[15] PerformancesIn addition to performances by Shankar, the concerto has been performed in concert by his daughter Anoushka Shankar.[16] LegacyThe LSO project led to further collaborations between Shankar and Western classical musicians, such as Zubin Mehta, who conducted his concerto Raga Mala in 1981.[17][18] Track listingAll selections adapted by Ravi Shankar.
