Channel: BBC Radio 4 Date: Tuesday 01 June Time: 1:30pm to 2:00pm 92.4-94.6FM "In the 1930s, Canadian musician Colin McPhee became entranced by the traditional music of Bali, the gamelan. He sponsored a group of young village players, who went on to become famous all over the island. Maria Bakkalapulo talks to the orginal child musicians, now in their 70s. She also talks to minimalist composer Philip Glass about the profound effect McPhee's obsession with the gamelan has had on his own compositions." |

It was a good half hour listen. I always like to hear music and customs of other cultures that I am not familiar with. The style it was done in was a bit to 'tame' or quiet, I know this is how radio 4 does things though. It is also inspiring to hear how one person can visit a far away place labelled as a poor or developing community and still come to be entranced by its unique, and sometimes surprising, charm. Thanks again for the post. |
