VARIOUS / SUB ROSA - Tibetan Buddhist Rites from The Monasteries of Bhutan, Sub Rosa

Recorded by John Levy, a London ethnomusicologist, in 1971, more than 140 minutes of some of the most powerful music ever recorded on earth. John Levy was a London ethnomusicologist who took refuge in tibetan buddhism. So he had all the possibilities to record - with his nagra-stereo - all the rituals (even the most sacred). All the material is fully remastered and divided into two discs of ritual and chanting. Rather than soothingly meditative, the music can be a bit dissonant to Western ears, chanted and played by 76 Lamas and Monks with long trumpets, shawms, cymbals, drums and other Tibetan instruments in sacred temples. Invited by the king of Bhutan, Levy was afforded every facility for recording monastic music in the principal dzongs (great fort-like monasteries) of the Nyingmapa Order. A truly remarkable collection, with extensive liner notes, photographs, and musical illustrations by John Levy.
