Reticent yet dynamic, sophisticated and
delicate, this recording contains four cherished
and exquisite compositions performed with
an enchanting mix of xylophones, gongs, cymbals,
fiddles, guitars, and breathtaking vocals.
Instrumental and vocal music of the Thai classical
repertoire draws listeners into a realm of
ornate tonal variations and textured rhythms.
Recorded in 1994 in Bangkok, this studio recording
features musicians of the Bangkok College
of Dramatic Arts Fine Arts Department, performing
the traditional and highly refined music of
the Thai royal court.
"Splendid example of thoroughly contemporary
exotica." –Boston Rock
