Some more rarely spotted old vinyl of gamelan. Here is a recording I have enjoyed very much. I hope you will also. It comes with a very informative eight page folder in french, penned by Louis Berthe who together with Bernard Yzerdraat also did the recordings in 1961-63. I will continue to post gamelan music to put me and you in the mood for all the South East Asian Bärenreiters that are coming so stay tuned, and don't forget to check in here now an then.
