Description
Burma's preeminent player of the arched harp and one of Burma's most respected singers provide a beguiling sampling of the Burmese thachìn gyì (classical song) repertoire in these stunningly beautiful recordings made in Rangoon in 2000. The Burmese arched harp, a little known treasure among Asian musical instruments, figures prominently in Burma's classical music tradition. That tradition, developed over several centuries in Burma's royal courts, exhibits the restraint, subtlety, and elegance of many aristocratic traditions—but in an idiom uniquely Burmese. Extensive notes, photos. 76 minutes.
