West Meets East is an album by American violinist Yehudi Menuhin and Indian sitar virtuoso Ravi Shankar, released in 1966. It was recorded following their successful duet in June 1966 at theBath Musical Festival, where they had played some of the same material. The album was the first in a trilogy of "West Meets East" collaborations by Menuhin and Shankar, volumes two and three appearing in 1968 and 1976, respectively. The friendship between the two musicians had begun in India in the early 1950s, after which Menuhin had done much to introduce Western audiences to Indian music.
