Gamelan Beatles

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
We hear from New York City-based gamelan ensemble Gamelan Son of Lion, in John Morton's "She (really) Had To Go," which riffs on Lennon and McCartney's "Yesterday." Also, a more conventional version of that particular Beatles hit from guitarist Goran Sollscher, and Bach transcriptions for piano duo by Hungarian composer György Kurtág.
