Recording information: RSC Studio, New Delhi, India.
Director: Tara Leigh Chiari.
Editors: Anoushka Shankar; Gaurav Raina.
Arrangers: Anoushka Shankar; Eli Wolf; Chris Cofoni; Gaurav Raina.
Anoushka Shankar may boast celebrity relatives (she's Ravi Shankar's daughter and Norah Jones's half sister), but her sitar mastery is all her own. On previous recordings, she followed in her father's footsteps by performing relatively traditional, raga-based music. RISE, however, is another animal entirely, incorporating jazz, pop, and pan-ethnic world-music textures in an unpredictable melange. At the center of it all, fortunately, are Shankar's unerring sitar expertise and traditional Indian roots.

Dirty Linen (p.85) - "[S]he displays a remarkable maturity....[The instruments] give these melodic pieces a dreamy and visionary spaciousness."

This is very good compilation of classical Indian music mixed with up beat world fusion rhythms. Perhaps the best Anoushka's release to date and signals her departure from traditional classical repertoire of her earlier releases. Some tracks are enlivening while others more calming and contemplative. Great mixture, I like this type of music.
