Album Review: Anoushka Shankar – Reflections

Anoushka Shankar,”Reflections”(Deutsche Grammophon)- This absorbing anthology revisits the cream of sitar player and composer Anoushka Shankar’s cross cultural Deutsche Grammophon back catalogue, drawing on collaborations with a diverse assortment of friends and relatives including Vanessa Redgrave, Norah Jones and her late father, the great Ravi Shankar. London born  Anoushka’s willingness to embrace a variety of musical genres found her exploring the delights of flamenco via tracks such as “Buleria con Ricardo” and “Si no puedo verla” and joining forces with electronics ace Karsh Kale to create the effervescent “Burn,” which was one of the highlights of the duo’s 2007 album,”Breathing Under Water.”
