Celestial Harmonies!,
By
This review is from: Gagaku & Beyond (Audio CD)
This is the first Gagaku album I have ever listened to and I must say I love it! I first became interested in Japanese traditional music from watching Akira Kurosawa films. The balance of beauty, nobility, and sorrow has always moved me. Listening to this album, I again feel those same emotions. What at first seemed to be dissonant melodies soon reveal themselves to be a beautiful conversation among the exotic instruments. It creates an other-wordly mood, as if this music was meant not for mortal ears, but for the gods and spirits themselves. The wide variety of styles offered in this album provides a great overview of Gagaku. Personally, my favorite track is the second, which features deep, male vocals (the only vocals on the CD).

This review is from: Gagaku & Beyond (Audio CD)
If you want one gagaku/engaku recording this is perhaps the one. The recording quality is great and the performance as well.
