A true cultural icon. May he rest in peace. I loved his music. Have you ever hear his sitar concerto? Excellent.

I have a couple of Shanker's on vinyl but nothing with an orchestra which I assume is what you are talking about. On Youtube?

Found Concerto #2 on youtube:

I don't think this is it. I used to own a recording, but got rid of it once my tape player broke and repalced with a CD player. It did not have any flute parts, was livelier and may have been with the LSO.
