Shimmering Sounds from Bali: The Gamelan Ensemble of the Indonesian Institute of the Arts

Summary: Thrill to the high-voltage music of the Balinese gamelan in this electrifying performance by the professional ensemble of the Indonesian Institute of the Arts. This all-star orchestra conveys the virtuosic tempos and dramatic shifts for which the Balinese gamelan is so justly famous. This music was recorded in 2013 as part of Performing Indonesia: A Conference and Festival of Music, Dance, and Drama. See images, program notes and related artwork at http://www.asia.si.edu/podcasts
