My Music, My Life by Ravi Shankar (Author) & Philip Glass (Frwd) - 2007

Mandala Publishing, 2007. Hardcover. New. 23 x 29 cm. My Music, My Life chronicles the extraordinary career of the man who may be India`s best-known musician. Ravi Shankar has been performing throughout the world for more than six decades. One of his greatest achievements has been to broaden the appeal of Indian classical music internationally. He performed at Woodstock in 1969 and helped to organize the legendary Concert for Bangladesh in 1971. In his own words, Shankar describes his transformation from a young traveling dancer to a Grammy Award-winning, internationally recognized musician. An autobiography, a history of Indian classical music, and a manual on how to play the sitar, this book is as much about music as a lifestyle, as it is about music as an art. This sumptuously packaged limited edition of Ravi Shankra`s autobiography comes signed and numbered with a deluxe clothbound hardcover of the book and a signed print encases in a deluxe clamshell box with gold embossed inlay -a treasury of one of the world`s greatest musical legends.
