This is a very appealing program, but a bit short. It makes a
nice start to this interesting series, but does not break any new
ground at this point. The majority of the program by length, the
Gending Danaraja - perhaps my favorite Gending - is also available
on two other recordings on the main list, although neither includes
voices as this one does.
