Mongol Nutgiin Salkhi (various artists) : (Japanese label in Japanese!) MOCN 9601 (published 1996)
I bought this short CD (37’09’’) after seeing the State traditional music ensemble play in Ulaanbaatar. It contains three very well recorded tracks of Zulsar’s amazing khöömii as well as an interesting contemporary classical concerto for the Morin Khuur and the fine ensemble playing that you would expect from these well-practiced professionals. The liner notes are mainly in Japanese. I have only been able to extract the track titles and performers names.
1. Ertnii Saikhan 4’05’’ Morin
Khuur Solo
2. Narsan Mod 1. 47 Short song with ensemble backing
3. a Tsagaan Sar 1’45’’ Yochin solo

10. Mongol Khöömii Kholboo Ayalguu 2’31’’ Khöömii with Ekel

Note that the liner notes are incorrect and track 4 should be track 7 and visa versa.
