Кстати, а кто-нибудь из наших, проживающих в Берлине ходил на концерт?
BERLIN (Reuters) - Indian sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar , who first performed in Berlin in 1932, said Tuesday he would go on playing in public despite the physical demands of touring aged 82.

"A car which has run 200,000 miles cannot be the same as when it is new," Shankar told reporters ahead of a concert in the German capital. "But at the same time I try to be like a Rolls Royce, a good car which is still going well at this age."

Shankar become an international superstar in the 1960s when he played at legendary pop music events such as Woodstock and the Monterey pop festival.

He also formed a life-long friendship with Beatle George Harrison, whom he taught the sitar.

"I do believe in reincarnation and I am sure our meeting or connection is not only from this life. It was very spiritual from the moment I met him. We both felt this same thing," Shankar said of Harrison, who died last year.

Harrison played sitar -- a long, stringed Indian instrument -- on a number of Beatle songs, including "Norwegian Wood."
Shankar now tours with his daughter Anoushka, 20, an impressive sitar player herself who has already released three CDs.

Promoters have billed Shankar's latest concerts as his last European tour, but he said he would not retire yet.

"I am playing much less now being 82, going on 83, I am not as actively touring as I would like to do," he said.

"The moment I feel that I cannot do it at all I will myself retire. But as long as people want to hear me and I can still play, I am going on," he said.

Shankar looked elegant in a traditional Indian kurta costume in brown with diamond-shaped patterns. He seemed to have trouble hearing, turning occasionally to his daughter for help.

DESIRE TO IMPROVE

Shankar first toured Europe in the 1930s with a troupe of Indian dancers and returned to perform Indian classical music on sitar from the 1950s on. Since then he has played with violinist Yehudi Menuhin and composer Philip Glass , among others. He briefly taught saxophonist John Coltrane .

Despite his reputation for sitar wizardry and his many accolades, Shankar said he was still striving to improve his playing. Last year Britain's Queen Elizabeth bestowed Shankar with an honorary knighthood. In March he won a Grammy Award for best world music album.

"I am never satisfied. I want to do it even better," he said. "We never feel that we have ended it or have mastered it, either the instrument or the music itself. It goes on growing."

Asked about tensions between his native India and Pakistan -- both nuclear powers -- over Kashmir, Shankar was cautious.

"I grew up when the country was one country and my guru, for that matter, was a Muslim , who for me was like my god. My best friends, I have among them Muslims .

"No matter who does it wherever in the world, anything done violently, killing, terrorism , this is something that, no matter who does it, I think it is wrong."

At 85, hand stiff but music must play on At 85, hand stiff but music must play on
CHARLES PASSY
West Palm Beach (Florida), April 15: Near the end of a free-wheeling conversation with Ravi Shankar, the man who almost single-handedly introduced the world to Indian music, the humble virtuoso pauses to make a point.

“Yesterday was my 85th birthday,” he says in a rare display of pride, speaking on phone from his California office.

It’s a point made with acknowledgment of all he’s accomplished in those 85 years, from his work with the late Beatle George Harrison, who proclaimed him “the Godfather of world music,” to his non-stop touring. But it’s also perhaps a way of admitting the challenges he faces: Shankar knows he’s playing on borrowed time — “The hand ... with age, it becomes stiff,” he says — but he’s eager to fight the good fight.

A master, in other words, never rests. And that’s what Shankar really is. Not just an instrumentalist. Not just a composer. But a master — one who has not only attained the highest level of achievement, but who also devotes his time to training and mentoring his disciples.

Among those who have studied or partnered with Shankar are such greats as Harrison and the composer Philip Glass and such promising newcomers as his 21-year-old daughter, Anoushka.

Before the serene-faced musician, who plays the sitar, became established worldwide, the Indian classical tradition was largely unknown in the West. It took Shankar to bring its strange, exotic beauties — the melodies and rhythms that strike a profoundly mystical note, the performers who improvise in a manner that puts even many jazz greats to shame — to the West’s attention.

In the process, he became a well-known figure in the counterculture movement of the ’60s — he even played at the ultimate hippie gathering, Woodstock. But Shankar’s work has gone far beyond that.

He has found ways to bridge musical landscapes, writing two concertos for sitar and Western-style orchestra, plus music for the late flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal and late violinist Yehudi Menuhin. He has composed for films and dance companies. He has won Grammy Awards, been honoured with doctoral degrees and even was reportedly nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Oh, and one more thing: He’s the father of pop vocalist Norah Jones.

Shankar stresses that Indian music, which is rooted in a system of ragas, was never an easy sell with Western audiences. The listeners “came in the beginning with a very flippant attitude, just like going to a pop concert,” he recalls.

At the same time, Shankar clearly welcomed the attention the music was suddenly receiving. But as much as he’d like to take credit for it, he defers to Harrison. “He was the person who really opened the gates,” Shankar says.

Shankar adds that he “didn’t know much about the Beatles” when Harrison first approached him in the mid ’60s, but was impressed by his desire to learn. “He was again and again asking me about the spiritual quality of our music. ... He got so much into it, he started writing songs about those ideals, which was very interesting.”

Harrison, in turn, credited Shankar with changing his perceptions, musical and otherwise. “Ravi plugged me into the whole of reality,” he said in 1999.

Harrison also recognised that Shankar not only opened Western ears to Indian music, but, by association, to all kinds of non-Western music. But these days, Shankar considers the title of “Godfather of world music” a mixed blessing, since much of the “world” genre is now rooted in slick commercial fare that blends pop with ethnic influences.

“The good side is that everyone is much richer in being able to hear different types of music,” Shankar says. “But it’s becoming (left to) half-baked musicians. ... This whole fusion thing is not very interesting.”

Shankar’s career, of course, predates his involvement with Harrison. He first became interested in performing as a youngster when he travelled to Europe and joined his brother Uday, a professional dancer who was introducing Indian culture to the West. “I grew up mostly with music, dance and the stage. It was like an adult life,” he recalls.

But to become a truly successful performer himself, Shankar had to return to India, spending several years learning and, yes, mastering the sitar. As he once explained, “It takes many years to be bound by rules (to) be free as a bird.”

Over the years, Shankar has passed that lesson on to many students. But these days, he’s particularly focusing on his daughter, Anoushka. He admits it’s a little different from the usual guru/disciple relationship. “I had to pamper her when she was little,” he says. But now, he notes, “She’s so extremely talented, it’s a pleasure teaching her.”

And what about his other daughter, Norah Jones?

Shankar wasn’t actively involved in raising her — her mother was from another relationship of his. But he’s grown to know her in recent years. “We’re very close again. I’m so proud of her. ... Her music has such a pure beauty,” he says.

One could say that Shankar’s two daughters are part of his growing legacy — as a man and musician.

But Shankar would rarely put it that way. If anything, he’s hesitant to see himself as a legend. At 85, there’s still work to be done — and that includes his daily practice routine. “It needs such tremendous concentration and training,” he concludes of his craft. “Unless I practice, the flow becomes a little muddled.”

Sitar legend, daughter bring Indian music to Laxson
Shankar, daughter start off shaky but end with a strong duo

May 11, 2005

The young and old of Chico came together Tuesday night to watch the legendary sitarist Ravi Shankar perform in Laxson Auditorium as a part of his 85th birthday tour.

Shankar, who has been involved with the sitar for more than 75 years, is perhaps India's unofficial ambassador of music to the western world. His friendships and collaborations with the late George Harrison of The Beatles brought him fame in the United States during the 1960s, with performances at legendary concerts such as the 1967 Monterey Music Festival and Woodstock.

Since then, Shankar has won awards across the globe and became famous for his impassioned performances of Indian ragas, the ancient and melodic forms that are the heart of Indian music. In his performance on Tuesday, his daughter Anoushka Shankar joined him for a two-hour plus set in front of a near-capacity audience.

Shankar and Anoushka took the stage with two drone musicians and a percussionist, all seated cross legged on the raised platform. Not a minute after the first mournful notes oozed out of his sitar, technical problems brought the performance to a brief halt, somewhat of a buzz kill to the beginning of what could be Shankar's last visit to Chico.

The audience laughed sympathetically, and a moment later the horrid crackling of the speakers came to an end. Shankar resumed plucking the slow, haunting notes that bent and shook and seemed to seep out of the speakers. The drone instruments hummed on, providing an eerie backdrop to Shankar's already eerie playing.

This carried on to the point that those with shallow attention spans might have squirmed in their seats. To enjoy Shankar's performance, it had to be understood that there are no hooks or elements of catchiness that the average American is accustomed to. Rather, the songs meander through different moods. Minutes passed until the raga built up and climaxed with a darting and virtuous solo by Ravi or Anoushka. One couldn't help but smile as they laughed together during the more intense sections of the ragas.

An extended solo from Anoushka featured her fingers hammering and pulling-off on the strings of the towering instrument, drawing enthusiastic applause from the audience and a warm, wrinkly smile from her father. With such agility and speed, an ignorant, young American journalist had to wonder if Van Halen records were ever released in India.

The second half of the set was the most enjoyable of the performance. After a short intermission, Shankar announced the second half would allow for more freedom and improvisation. This opened the ragas up for more intense playing, including some furious percussion work.

Hardly visible from the balcony, but symbolic of the performance, were Shankar and his daughter's feet tapping in unison with the flow of the music. Only two musicians sharing the same blood could play with such harmony. Even though the music was largely improvisational, Anoushka effortlessly followed her father's lead, harmonizing and trading the immaculate note flourishes that characterized the performance.

While the deep and obvious connection between the legend and his daughter were touching, its effect on the music left some people in the audience chuckling with glee as they embarked on extended note flourishes with themselves and the percussionist, making for a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

But the performance ended in somewhat of a somber tone as Anoushka gingerly helped her father step down from the platform. It was then that his age and frailty was revealed, and one realized that this just might be his last visit to Chico. Those present for it should be grateful.

Shankar on Menuhin, Harrison, other musicians

By Mark Whittington

Mercury News


Ravi Shankar talked briefly about some of the Western musicians with whom he has worked:

• Yehudi Menuhin: ``One of the greatest musicians, and he was such a wonderful person. I had never jammed with anyone, you know? I have never attempted to play classical Western music or anything like that. But with these two persons I have played -- Yehudi Menuhin and Jean-Pierre Rampal, the flutist.''

• Philip Glass: ``I worked once with him. He gave me two pieces of his, just four lines each. And I gave him four lines of two separate pieces. Then we set off and did whatever we wanted with each other's pieces. That turned out to be very interesting. It's called `Passages.' ''

• John Coltrane: ``I didn't do anything playing-wise. But I taught him for a few days. . . . He was coming to learn from me. Unfortunately, he died. But you know, he named his son Ravi.''

• George Harrison: ``He became my student, and I started teaching him sitar. And he was so good. But unfortunately, he could not give it the time needed. Because sitar is like violin or cello: You have to give a lot of time to practice even to get control of the instrument. And then comes the music itself, which is so vast, and it needs person-to-person training.

``But he was so much into our music. He had wonderful knowledge. He brought all the spirit of what he learned from me, as much as possible, in his songs, as you know.

``He was just like my son, my friend. I miss him very much.''

• Ali Akbar Khan: He ``is, of course, my guru's son. And he has been established here'' in Marin County ``with his college, and he has produced a lot of students, which is good. He was a very, very great musician himself. I said was, but he is still.''

• Zakir Hussain: ``I have seen him since he was a baby. He used to sit on his father's lap and listen to me the whole night in many concerts. He grew up like that. I brought him to his first concert ever in North America; it was at the Fillmore East in New York. That was sometime around '71 or '70, sometime like that. He is absolutely fantastic.''

For those who are unfamiliar with Ravi Shankar and the instrument synonymous with his name, explaining the cultural significance of his life can be a time-consuming task. Luckily, this is made easier by first noting both George Harrison and Brian Jones were his students, and through Shankar’s guidance learned how to play the sitar (you recall the Rolling Stones’ “Paint it Black” or the Beatles’ “Norwegian Wood?” Yep, that’s the sitar and those songs wouldn’t have happened without Mr. Shankar’s guidance). In turn, through the Beatles, the philosophy, music and fashion of the East became adopted by the ‘60s peace movement, becoming icons of that era.
Famous throughout India and Europe, Ravi Shankar made his direct mark on American pop culture in the 1960s and early ‘70s, playing the Monterey Pop Festival, Woodstock and the Concert for Bangladesh. A lifelong devotee of music, Shankar is recognized as the world’s foremost sitar virtuoso. (In addition, he is also the father of Grammy-Award winning singer Norah Jones, as well as sitar disciple Anoushka Shankar.) The honorable Ravi Shankar recently embarked on his 85th birthday tour, and the Synthesis had the opportunity to ask him a few questions.
Hello Mr. Shankar. Before I ask you a few questions I wanted to first state that I consider this a great honor to speak with you.
Thank you. [laughs]

How are you feeling today, how is your health?
Fine. We have been performing a lot in Florida, a few places, New York and New Jersey, and we flew over yesterday. We are in San Francisco today, and we go by bus tomorrow morning. We have tomorrow in Napa.

Do you consider touring to be difficult?
Believe me, touring in the bus like we have been doing, a special bus where I can sleep and all that, it was so wonderful all along. This plane thing is, you know, traveling by plane has become such a nuisance now. It’s not fun anymore. [laughs]

In your opinion, what has living a life devoted to playing music taught you about human beings?
Well [laughs] that is a very deep question. Ah…music to me dearly means the most, ah, more than anything in the world for me. And it has made me really more sensitive to all the pleasures and pains, everything that I experience within me or around me, and made me much more sensitive, I think.

What role, if any, will music play in achieving world peace?
[laughs] I don’t believe it can play any role directly. You know, playing Beethoven’s Fifth or a raga may not stop a crowd of people who are mad and fighting. But I think in general, music is one thing that can bring peace of mind to the listener. Unfortunately, all of the political leaders and people who really are at the helm may not be that musical. If they were I think that it would have been much better. But, you know, it is not like anything that directly you can play music and stop fighting or anything like that, or make a person calm down if he’s violent. But, on the other hand, they are experimenting in hospitals and everywhere, music therapy you know, where they hear different type of music to cool people down when they’re not feeling well. It has effect, definitely.

Sorry to start off with such philosophical questions. One thing that I was wondering is do you ever listen to Beatles records?
To tell you the truth, I have never been listening to a lot. Whenever it was played, somehow, I have heard two of their songs, but I’m not completely knowledgeable about their music. The thing, the few that I have heard [are] the personal ones of Paul and George and John.

I was wondering this because Indian classical music has influenced Western pop music, but in turn, has pop music influenced Indian classical music?
No, I don’t think so. Of course there are people who are very much into fusion and working on these experimental things and commercial things to sell the record, and more of them are gimmicks, actually. But some of them are done by very talented people, you know. It all depends on who likes it and how much it sells. That’s what matters as far as they are concerned. And that’s exactly the state of music.

How has teaching and playing with your daughter Anoushka differed from other students…
It has been a very great experience in my life, as a guru and a father both. I’m very proud of her, she is a fabulous musician, and it’s such a joy to perform along with her.

How do you feel about your daughter Norah [Jones]?
That’s another thing that I am very proud of. I love her very much, and though she’s not singing Indian music or anything, it’s beautiful. Whatever she does, it comes out so…it touches you.

Who do you consider to be your personal heroes?
Ah…[laughs] Not very many present ones, unfortunately. But the great poet Rabindranath [Tagore] and many people who are far gone, you know, people like da Vinci, Einstein, you know. They can be just from different areas, but they have been great musicians like my guru [Ustad Allaudin Khan] was, and like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, all this.

You believe in reincarnation, correct?
I mean, somehow being born a Hindu and having been raised as one with all of our religious and philosophical beliefs and things, I do, really.

What do you think you were in your past life?
I’m sure that it had something to do with art. Maybe music only, but all forms of art. And I feel very strongly but, you know, it is one of those things.

What do you hope to become next?
Again, I would like to pursue — provided I can keep this memory of what I have accumulated in this life [laughs] — if I can carry it on, certainly I want to be a musician.

Music seems to be working out for you pretty well.
Well, that’s the only thing I know a little of. [laughs]

Catch rare glimpse of sitar guru Jun 9 2005

HIS music influenced one of Liverpool's greatest sons for 30 years, but it's a rare event when Ravi Shankar visits the city.

The sitar guru reached a wider audience after the late George Harrison used the instrument on Beatles tracks such as Norwegian Wood and Within You, Without You from Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

Now 85, Shankar comes to the Philharmonic Hall on June 18 with his daughter Anoushka, who has studied sitar under her father's guidance from an early age.

It is 25 years since he last played the famous hall and almost 40 since he showed his face and finger-plucking at the Monterey Pop Festival, Concert for Bangladesh and Woodstock.

The concert is part of the Philharmonic's aphiliated music season, celebrating jazz, world and contemporary styles.

Tickets for the show start at £22.50, up to £30 for box seats.

To book a ticket, call the box office on 709 3789 or online at www.liverpoolphil.com

Ravi still spreads his musical influence Jun 17 2005Ravi still spreads his musical influence Jun 17 2005

RAVI Shankar at 85 remains India's best-known musician, a man whose influence has spread far beyond his native country.

It was a reputation hard-earned although it was probably George Harrison who helped cement his name in popular culture.

The Beatles were at the height of their fame in 1966 when Harrison met Shankar and asked to study with him.

The result was a Harrison sitar solo on the group's recording of Norwegian Wood and the inevitable question: "What on earth was that instrument?"

It was a sound that would be heard many times on popular recordings in the future, not only with The Beatles but other groups who liked to experiment.

But there was no-one who could play it quite like Ravi Shankar as he will doubtless prove when he plays a rare concert at Liverpool's Philharmonic Hall on Saturday.

Shankar is a man of little needs in concert. On a previous visit his only request was for chicken sandwiches, a cup of tea and an Indian rug on which he would play his music.

Ask him about his lifestyle today and he will tell you that his life is "simple and comfortable".

He has homes now in Delhi and California, he tells me, although at one time he made his home in England.

Life, for Ravi, it must be said has always been comfortable.

He was born on April 7, 1920, into an orthodox, well-off Brahmin family, his father employed as a minister by the Maharajah of Jhalawar.

But by the age of 13, he planned a career as a dancer. His brother had a Hindu dance company with which Ravi toured.

That all changed in 1934 when he met instrumentalist Allauddin Khan who was to become his mentor.

Khan in the mid-1930s joined Ravi's brother's dance group as principal musical soloist.

But it was Khan's sitar playing which interested Ravi - he gave up his dancing career and began to study the sitar under him.

By the end of the decade he was performing in public, later basing himself in Bombay.

Shankar rapidly became one of India's favourite musicians with live performances and compositions for ballet and films. He still likes to think of himself as a composer.

He was music director for All India Radio in the early 1950s and began touring. By 1954, he was appearing in the Soviet Union.

He became an international star but it was that meeting with George Harrison which propelled him to superstardom.

The two became best chums and Ravi still remembers his friend with great fondness.

He has played in Liverpool a few times before but when I ask for his memories of the city, he replies simply: "It's my dear George's home town."

In the 1960s, Shankar played a number of big festivals including Monterey, Woodstock and the Concert for Bangladesh.

Shankar was particularly concerned with the latter festival, and asked Harrison to play there - which George,, of course, did.

He may be best remembered for his appearance at Woodstock but when I ask him about it, his answer is direct: "Not as good as Monteray," he tells me..

Performing is still his great love: "As long as my health permits and I am wanted, I love it," he says..

Meanwhile, he has passed on his sitar skills to his daughter Anoushka who will be appearing with him at his Philharmonic concert, his first in that venue for nearly 25 years. "It will be great appearing stage with her," he says. Another daughter is the singer Norah Jones.

As for his memories of the Beatles - he played at the Concert for George in London following Harrison's death - he remains alas tight-lipped.

"I tell no tales," he tells me when I ask for anecdotes.

Вот и здорово! Мне боязливо было от ощущения, что приезд Рави не возымеет большой популярности в народных массах, потому что такой признанный мастер, как он, по всему свету собирает аншлаги, а коль у нас этого не случилось бы, то что же? - мы такие исключительные или просто не в теме? ;))

Судя по тому, что мне вчера сказала тётечка в кассе, которую я минут 40 мучила, дешёвых билетов уже практически нет, а вообще осталось меньше половины, если судить по схеме зала.

Рави Шанкар лишился двух ситаров  Рави Шанкар лишился двух ситаров

Прославленный индийский музыкант Рави Шанкар, по его словам, "осиротел" без двух своих любимых ситаров. Однако концерт свой во Франции не отменил.
Два ситара были сломаны во время перелета из Ливана. К фестивалю мировой музыки в Арле на юге Франции маэстро успели доставить два новых инструмента.

Представитель оргкомитета фестиваля рассказал, что Шанкар только-только успел настроить новые ситары, но его выступление, как всегда, было великолепным.

"Я как будто потерял двоих родственников", - сказал 85-летний Шанкар о сломанных инструментах, на которых играл много лет.

Обвиняется Air France

Когда стало известно о случившемся, из Лондона Шанкару доставили ситар, который маэстро сразу назвал непригодным.

Концерт, на котором Шанкар выступал со своей дочерью Анушкой, спас производитель ситаров из Индии, который привез два новых инструмента.

Семья Шанкара обвиняет в сломанных ситарах авиакомпанию Air France.

Представитель авиакомпании заявил, что "компания сейчас пытается оценить нанесенный [Рави Шанкару] ущерб".

My father, my hero; my daughter, my joyMy father, my hero; my daughter, my joy
(Filed: 28/07/2005)

Ravi Shankar and his daughter Anoushka top the bill next week at the first main Prom dedicated to Indian music. They talk to Peter Culshaw

'The Godfather of World Music", as Ravi Shankar's friend and pupil George Harrison called him, welcomes me into his hotel suite in London and tells me how much he objects to that label. "That's like me saying Mozart is ethnic music.

"The term world music seems to include fusion music, aboriginal music and Indian classical music, which doesn't make me happy at all. For one thing, like Western classical music, in Indian classical music you have to work your butt off for years and years in order to be proficient enough to face the public." Ravi Shankar laughs. He may be 85 and frail, but he retains a combative streak.

He also continues to break new ground for Indian classical music. Next week sees the first time a main evening Prom has been devoted to Indian music. He will be performing ragas with his 24-year-old daughter Anoushka, and she will perform Shankar's Sitar Concerto Number One with the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

It was when Harrison became his pupil and Shankar ended up performing at the Woodstock and Monterey festivals in the 1960s that he became world famous.

"George could have become a great sitar player, but he didn't have the time to dedicate to the instrument," he says. "But, after I lent him Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi, he got very interested in Indian religion and the old Vedic culture and became very knowledgeable. And he listened to Indian music till the day he died. He was a dear friend, like a son to me."

How did he feel about becoming an idol of the hippies? " To begin with," he says, "I was charmed by their innocence - giving flowers and talking about love and peace. But they loved to get stoned, and I always spoke out against drugs.

"I thought some of the musicians were brilliant, particularly Jimi Hendrix, but I was shocked when he set light to his guitar and destroyed it. For us, our instruments are sacred.

"After Woodstock, I thought, 'This isn't working.' I told my agent to stop booking me into such festivals."

Shankar was not just the most important ambassador for Indian classical music, but is probably the only musician who influenced not just pop, via the Beatles, but also profoundly affected the course of jazz and classical music. John Coltrane said his musical evolution towards his masterpiece A Love Supreme came about through listening to Shankar, and he even named his son Ravi. Shankar says they were due to record an album together, and the dates were even booked before Coltrane's death at the age of 40.

In the classical world, Philip Glass says the development of his own minimal "systems" style came about after working with Shankar in Paris in the 1960s on a film soundtrack. Violinist Yehudi Menuhin was a great champion of Shankar's, and the duo composed some extraordinary music together. (Violinist Daniel Hope reprised the music last year on his album East Meets West.)
