I seem to remember Salieri saying something like that about Mozart in
Amadeus...
I have to say that I wasn't really familiar with Ravi Shankar's work until
I
saw him play Alice Tully about 10 years ago. I expected him to be
western-influenced
and instead he presented a very formal and classical show which was
also very expressive.
Highly recommended is his collaboration with Yehudi Menuhin, "East Meets
West" -- Menuhin gets raga form and the ornamentation style almost
instinctively, it's uncanny. I also have a short interesting avant-garde
CD whose name escapes me now, a sound track for a film, on the BBC
label, with some lovely cuts with exotic instrumentation that I cannot
place by ear (some of it sounds like a glass harmonica, for example)...
