About Ravi Shankar Symphony
Ravi Shankar Symphony is a 2012 orchestral work by Anoushka Shankar. The composer released the piece on April 30, 2012. The primary format is a symphonic composition.
Anoushka Shankar structured the symphony in four movements. The first movement, "Allegro - Kafi Zila," draws from the Kafi thaat of Hindustani classical music. The second movement, "Lento - Ahir Bhairav," incorporates the Ahir Bhairav raga. The third movement, "Scherzo - DoGa Kalyan," blends elements of the Doga and Kalyan ragas. The fourth movement, "Finale - Banjara," concludes the work with themes from the Banjara folk tradition.
The release contains four tracks. The label for the release is not specified in available sources. The symphony represents a fusion of Western orchestral forms with Hindustani classical and folk elements.
