Classical music of Indonesia - we play Javanese Court Gamelan, alternating between the two schools of the two great centers of Javanese court culture, Surakarta (also known as Solo) and Yogyakarta. These were live recordings done at the respective palaces (where the musicians still play) in the 1970s.
We devote the last half-hour to the Balinese Gamelan Gong Gede tradition, which is a more stately but lesser-known counterpart to the Gamelan Gong Kebyar. Gong Gede is mostly performed in temple ceremonies.
