Synopsis

Product Description
This is the sixth in a series of recordings which aims at documenting the most significant aspects of the gamelan tradition of Central Java. The repertoire is that of the court of Surakarta whose unmistakable style has for centuries been the inspiration for a great musical culture. This CD features an excellent group comprising both court (Kraton) musicians and players from STSI, the Surakarta conservatory. Particularly impressive on the longest track is the female vocalist, Nyi Cendaniraras, whose performance is countered by the rebab, a two string instrument played with a bow.
