this week, some excellent thai classical music from prof. dr. uthit naksawat! a pioneer of thai musicology, dr. uthit was also a prominent radio and television host and agricultural economist. a student of both phraya phumisewin (chit chittasewi) and luang pradit phairo (son sinlapabanleng), he mastered a range of instruments and performance styles. this cassette was released on his private label (hong at siang naksawat, "naksawat studio"), and most likely dates from the 1970s, as in the early '80s, dr. uthit began to suffer severe health problems, passing away in 1982 at the age of 59. these recordings features pieces that would traditionally accompany dance performances, with a variety of different ensemble types and foreign accents.. enjoy!
