Music of the Whirling Dervishes

A lush studio recording of Turkish sufi music, it was made during a 1978 tour by the "Whirling Dervishes" troupe. Originally a two-LP set, this tape presents over 80 minutes of ritual chanting, soothing nay flute improvisations, and evocative instrumental interludes. Recording quality is amazing -- smooth and richly detailed, providing a marked contrast to previously available field recordings. As with the best spiritual music, these sounds have a unique ability to carry the listener away to mystical lands. ~ Myles Boisen, Roots & Rhythm, All Music Guide
