Ravi Shankar : Yehudi Menuhin - West Meets East (1966)

Ravi Shankar : Yehudi Menuhin - West Meets East (Mono)

   Here is a great find that I discovered at a recent Hock Shop and I paid a whopping $1.00 Canadian for this gem!     Wow!    1966 original pressing in EX condition and best news is MONO baby !!!!!!

   "West Meets East" is an excellent album that sort of contrasts East (Side 1) with the West represented by (Side 2).    Side 3 is devoted to 3 traditional Indian Ragas played by Ravi, Yehudi, Alla Rakha (table master) and Prodyot Sen (Tanpura).  Side 2 is solely an Indian interpretation of Georges Enesco's Sonata No. 3 in A Minor, Op. 25 played by Yehudi (violin) and Hephzibah Menuhin (piano).
