- Collaborations is a four-disc compilation box set by Indian classical musician Ravi Shankar and former Beatle George Harrison. Released in October 2010 on Dark Horse Records, it compiles two studio albums originally issued on that label – the long-unavailable Shankar Family & Friends (1974) and Ravi Shankar's Music Festival from India (1976) – and Chants of India, first issued on Angel Records in 1997. Although all three albums were originally Shankar releases, for which Harrison served in the role of music producer and guest musician, both Shankar and Harrison are credited as artists on the box set. Each of the collaborative projects represents a departure from Shankar's more typical work as a sitarist and performer of Hindustani classical ragas, with the box set showcasing his forays into, variously, jazz and rock, Indian folk and orchestral ensembles, and devotional music. The fourth disc of Collaborations is a DVD containing previously unissued film of a performance by the Music Festival from India, recorded at London's Royal Albert Hall in September 1974. Filmed by director Stuart Cooper, the footage required substantial restoration for its 2010 release. An audio-only track on the DVD, prepared by Anoushka Shankar and Paul Hicks, provides a more complete record of the concert. Issued nine years after Harrison's death, the limited-edition release coincided with celebrations for Shankar's 90th birthday and was overseen by Harrison's widow, Olivia. Among the lavish packaging for the compilation, each disc appears inside enlarged, 8½-inch sleeves, and each copy of the set is individually numbered. An accompanying book contains a foreword by American composer Philip Glass, rare photographs documenting Shankar and Harrison's 35-year friendship, and commentary from both artists on the projects featured in the box set. While Collaborations presents only a portion of Shankar and Harrison's work together, music critics have recognised it as a successful representation of the far-reaching cultural legacy of their partnership.

- Collaborations es una caja recopilatoria del músico indio Ravi Shankar y del músico británico George Harrison, publicado por la compañía discográfica Dark Horse Records en octubre de 2010. La caja recopila dos álbumes de estudio originalmente publicados en Dark Horse – (1974) y (1976)– así como (1997), lanzado originalmente por Angel Records. Aunque los tres álbumes fueron originalmente publicaciones de Shankar, en los que Harrison actuó como productor musical o músico invitado, ambos artistas están acreditados en la caja. Cada uno de los proyectos colaborativos representan un alejamiento del trabajo más característico de Shankar intérprete de ragas clásicos, con la caja mostrando sus incursiones en géneros como el jazz, el rock y la música devocional. El cuarto disco es un DVD con una película inédita de una actuación del Music Festival from India, grabada en el Royal Albert Hall de Londres en septiembre de 1974. Filmado por el director Stuart Cooper, el metraje requirió una sustancial restauración para su lanzamiento en 2010. Publicado nueve años después de la muerte de Harrison, Collaborations coincidió con el 90º cumpleaños de Shankar y fue supervisado por la viuda del músico, Olivia Harrison. Además del material audiovisual, la caja incluyó también un libro con un prólogo del compositor estadounidense Philip Glass, fotografías inéditas que documentan la relación de amistad entre Harrison y Shankar, y comentarios de los dos artistas sobre los proyectos destacados en la caja. Aunque Collaborations presenta solo una parte del trabajo que desarrollaron juntos, la crítica musical reconoció el proyecto como una representación exitosa del legado musical de su asociación. (es)

- The Music Festival from India was something I've been planning since about '67. It was inspired by an incredible orchestral composition Ravi created around 1964 for All India Radio. (en)
- The album contains almost every possible style that you can think of … we have Western instruments like sax, guitar, bass … a few classical musicians from the Los Angeles Symphony Orchestra, and I had three musicians flown in from Bombay. (en)
- Chants of India is the most vivid in my mind. It was fascinating to witness the creation of that album ... The priority was to maintain the integrity of the mantras and verses, while setting them to music as timeless as the words. (en)
