The Influence of China,
By Dr. Debra Jan Bibel "World Music Explorer" (Oakland, CA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Korean Court Music (Audio CD)
Historically in the Far East, China is the superpower and primary cultural center. Chinese ideograms, Chinese administrative practices, and Chinese Buddhism spread to Korea and Japan. So did music and its instruments, beginning during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). The royal courts of Japan and Korean emulated the music of the Chinese Emperor. Japanese court music, of which there are a fair number of recordings, is known as gagaku. This particular album is of Korean court music, which sounds similar, being slow and stately with use of the sho (a harmonica-like instrument), drum, and flutes, but with the komungo and kayakeum zithers, rather than the koto. Also, we hear the characteric Korean warble in voice and flute. I find the music somewhat less refined than gagaku, but it is likewise meditative. The sound quality of this old recording is good but not up to modern standards. By sound and musical pieces, a better recording of Korean court music from 1985 was issued by Playasound, France.
