In the 1960s, Ravi Shankar and Yehudi Menuhin performed a piece of music
called Raga Piloo. Shankar played sitar and Menuhin violin. It was one
of the first combinations of Eastern and Western music.

In this video, Shankar's daughter Anoushka and a violinist named
Patricia Kopatchinskaja perform the same piece. According to the
comments, it is NOTE FOR NOTE IDENTICAL to the original performance.
Normally, you might expect it to sound almost mechanical as everyone is
utterly careful not to make the slightest hint of an error but this is
very much the opposite. There is so much passion and joy in the
performance that you'll probably want to replay it again immediately
just to recapture the experience.

You may find that this piece seems slow at first and almost seem like
people just noodling around but once the tablas start, the musicians are
on fire, blazing away until the end.

As a bonus, I think you'll like this too as Anoushka Shankar and her half-sister - they share Ravi Shankar as a father - perform Traces of
You, which also combines Eastern and Western music.
