Cathedral Vachaspati (Excerpt from "A Night at St. John the Divine") by East Meets West Music

On August 6, 1976, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his first US concert appearance, Ravi Shankar organized a dusk ‘til dawn concert at the historic St. John the Divine cathedral in New York City. The concert, featuring many acts of the day and several virtuosos of the Indian classical world, ended at dawn with an extended set from the Maestro. To mark the 60th anniversary of his first introduction to the West, EMWMusic is proud to release his remastered concert as the fourth installment of our Nine Decades series.

This excerpt features one of the many legendary musical "conversations" between Ravi Shankar and Alla Rakha on tabla.
