Ravi Shakar
Gandhi (Original Sound Track)
RCA/RVC (Japan) 1982
RPL-8172 (LP) w/obi, insert.
sleeve : EX(light wear on corner.)
media : EX-/EX-(some light noise.)
The original soundtrack to Richard Attenborough’s grand historical epic “Gandhi,” featuring music composed by India’s legendary musician Ravi Shankar. The album opens with A1, a moving requiem used in the film’s opening and closing funeral scenes, followed by A4, a tabla- and sitar-driven piece evoking Gandhi’s spiritual journeys across India with a bright, uplifting energy. B3 reflects the tense and uncertain atmosphere of the country’s political struggles, filled with subtle emotional shifts. Even without having seen the film, this soundtrack conveys a powerful sense of narrative on its own — a beautifully crafted and thoroughly engaging work throughout.
A4: Discovery of India
B3: Partition
