''Full Circle: Carnegie Hall 2000'' is a live album by Indian musician and composer Ravi Shankar, released in 2001 through the record label Angel Records. Recorded at Carnegie Hall in October 2000 as part of a tour with Shankar's daughter Anoushka, the album contains five tracks and presents two ''ragas''. The concert occurred sixty-two years after Shankar's first performance at Carnegie Hall and commemorated his eightieth birthday; the album became his first live recording in nearly twenty years. ''Full Circle'' was produced by Hans Wendl, mastered by Scott Hull, and mixed and engineered by Tom Lazarus. Featured are performances by Tanmoy Bose and Bickram Ghosh on ''tabla'', and Anoushka and Ravi on ''sitar''. In 2001, the album peaked at position nine on ''Billboard'' Top World Music Albums chart and earned Shankar the Grammy Award for Best World Music Album. ==Background and composition== ''Full Circle'' was recorded at Carnegie Hall in New York City on October 6, 2000, as part of a tour of the same name in which Ravi introduced his nineteen-year-old daughter and student Anoushka.〔〔 Note: Online version found (here ).〕 Anoushka began studying at age nine and is the only musician in the world trained exclusively by Ravi. The concert commemorated Shankar's eightieth birthday and occurred sixty-two years after his first performance at the venue as a member of his brother Uday Shankar's Indian dance group.〔 The album also marked Shankar's first live recording in nearly twenty years.〔 The Carnegie Hall concert was held specifically for the purpose of recording a live album, despite Shankar's hesitations about using "traditional recording considerations" to capture improvisational music. ''Full Circle'' contains two ''ragas'' presented in five tracks totaling just over one hour in length.〔〔 ''Kaushi Kanhara'' (a compound ''raga'' that combines ''Malkauns'' and ''Darbari Kanada'') is separated in an ''alap'' portion (an unaccompanied introduction) which includes ''jor'' and ''jhala'' (playing with pulse and fast pulse), and a ''gat'' portion (composition with ''tabla'' accompaniment). ''Mishra Gara'' is introduced with an ''aochar'' (a short ''alap''), and features two ''gats'', in a single thirty-minute track. Hans Wendl worked as record producer and Scott Hull mastered the album, which was mixed and engineered by Tom Lazarus and features performances by Tanmoy Bose and Bickram Ghosh on ''tabla'', and Anoushka and Ravi on ''sitar''.〔 Shankar said he was successful in reaching his goal of presenting variety on the album by incorporating both "ancient" and "contemporary, semi-classical" styles and reaching a musical climax quickly.〔 Gilbert Heatherwick, an executive for Angel Records, said that the label sought to market the album as an "event record" and would position it "upfront in pop departments".〔 Angel promoted the album through NPR stations and mainstream press outlets as a "human interest story", focusing on his career and how the album exemplifies its title. ''Full Circle'' was released in India through the EMI-owned label Virgin India.〔 Anoushka Shankar's album ''Live at Carnegie Hall'' was recorded at Carnegie Hall the same evening. The album was released in December 2001 and earned her a nomination for Best World Music Album at the 45th Grammy Awards (2003), making her the youngest musician nominated in the category. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Full Circle: Carnegie Hall 2000」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
