Collection: Digital Series, Gamelan of Central Java
This album presents three recordings of a gendhing that has been defined “mystic yet sensuous” – a gem in the vast classical repertoire of the Javanese gamelan culture. The performances took place at Kraton Kasunanan, Surakarta, on three different occasions in 1996, 1999, and 2004. They are presented here, together, with the purpose to add interesting elements of comparative listening in regard to such beautiful work.
