SKU
08-FY8042
This CD features five tracks of varying length aiming to bring to light some the finest religious and ceremonial music from Java (Indonesia)s thousand year-old musical tradition. The repertory selected here is thus closely connected with the sacred aspect of the music and the recordings are distinguished by the fact that they were made in the field in part in the Grand Mosque and in part in the Mangkunagaran palace in Surakarta. The result conveys the truly spiritual air of five gamelan orchestras captured in their most authentic context. Listening to Ceremonial Music promises to be a marvellous experience for those who are able to let themselves be transported by the energy of these five tracks which build slowly up to a final climax. Travelling in the company of a gamelan orchestra you can be guaranteed an amazing experience both musically and spiritually. [Dunya]~"~"~"~"~"~"~18~0~0~"~"~-
