Who's to Know is the second studio album by violinist Shankar, recorded in November 1980 and released on ECM the following year. The trio features percussionists Umayalpuram K. Sivaraman and Zakir Hussain.[1]
Reception
The AllMusic review by Stephen Cook awarded the album 4½ stars stating "For this 1980 session, the violinist focuses on the traditional ragas of his native India, with two extended pieces... On the first raga (both pieces here are reconfigurations of traditional ragas), he moves from a meditative solo stretch to some frenetic interplay with Hussein, eventually ending the piece with an incredible, lightning-fast display of technique. The group opt for a more even-keeled pace on the second raga. Shankar is impressive again, while Hussein makes the best of some lengthy solo spots. An essential disc for L. Shankar fans".[2]
