Musicians of the National Dance Company of Cambodia
Released 27 May 1991
Liner notes
Music of a venerable and magnificent culture, plus modern Cambodian folk songs previously unrecorded.
The music on this album represents a range of styles, from the classical orchestra to wedding ensembles and folk groups. (It should be noted that the orchestra here is not the full ‘pinpeat’ orchestra, but a smaller version lacking an extra roneat and an extra ghong).
The singers accompanying the dance orchestra tell stories – episodes from Hindu epics and heroic legends – or poems expressing a great love of beauty and pleasure. Of the folk music, many of these pieces are new to western ears having never been recorded before.
