No musician did more than Ravi Shankar to bring Indian music and the sitar to a Western audience and he has had a massive influence on countless musicians and composers the world over. This set collects five of his releases (West Meets East, Full Circle: Carnegie Hall 2000, India's Master Musician, Portrait of Genius, and Sound of the Sitar) on two discs, and includes several collaborations with Yehudi Menuhin. ~ Steve Leggett
