Sought-after collection of traditional Indonesian music focusing on ceremonial music on the island of Bali. The blistering, extreme attention to detail executed by Musicaphon on their 'Anthology Of South-East Asian Music' series is really staggering, with pristine, dynamic recordings that really capture the tonality and complexities of the Indonesian gamelan in its natural setting. Additional field-notes, explanations of the pentatonic scale, pictures and diagrams of the individual instruments AND documentation of the performers ensures this is the most complete and best realised ethnographic study of Bali.
