sounds authentic.......2007-07-13

It sounds authentic - and probably it is. This is what counts. You may like it or dislike it, that is a piece of art history. Some find it fascinating, some find it irritating. I got what I wanted, and I hope you will like it, too: whether because you already like this sound, or because you learned what you wanted to learn in the form of pure concept.

Gagaku Rocks the Spot.......2004-02-25

This music, with its drones and swarming horn and flute sounds, eclipses much of 20th century musical minimalism in its dolorous, meditative creation of gorgeous, slowly modulating aural spaces. Once you've heard Gagaku (which is well and beautifully represented on this budget-priced disc), there's not really much need to have Terry RIley or Philip Glass on your shelf.

Intimate grandeur, infinite sadness.......2003-07-25

There is nothing like this music. Not only is it the product of a cultural tradition unbroken for over a millenium, performed by the decendants of the musicians who came to Japan from China over 1,000 years ago, and not only is it a glimpse into the cultural soul of Heian Japan and T'ang China, it is also the vehicle of a sense of sadness so elevated in its feeling and so refined in its sentiment that it can only be called noble. It is almost painfully slow and formalized, and yet through this slowness and formality it becomes the vehicle for that sense of _tristesse_ so closely bound with the ancient Chinese and Japanese aristocratic traditions. It is perhaps the only window westerners have on the delicate world of Genji, or the emperors of the Sung, that allows for this kind of emotional immediacy. Be forewarned -- it is not an easy thing to listen to, but that is, superficially, its object.

A Good Gagaku CD.......2003-04-02

Gagaku is a prominently used form of music in my Church. It is also one of my favorite types. The Gagaku is so mystic! The sounds evoke your soul. I like this CD because it is good representation of what Gagaku is. If one were to inspect classical Asian music, Gagaku would be the one to study.

Gagaku (Japanese Imperial Court Music).......2001-04-17

This CD was generally a great learning experience of Japanese music culture. I am a Japanese language student at an University, this CD was part of the learning material. Honestly at first, Gagaku surprised me. I was not expecting the music I first initially heard. But once I started to actually listen to the music, I found out that is was more complicated the more I listened. Overall, this Gagaku is an excellent way to learn just how complicated historical Japanese music really is.

The best issue of this classic I have heard!!!!.......2006-07-06

First, a brief history. I first heard this record when it came out in 1969 and it completely blew me away with its originality and craftsmanship. I still have the first Atlantic vinyl pressing, so, needless to say, I KNOW every nuance of this recording.
Court of The Crimson King was without question a very daring and innovative work in 1969. No one had ever heard anything quite like them. To this day, I consider it a masterpiece of modern art.
If you love this recording as much as I do, you owe it to yourself to buy the JVC Japan re-issue. Yes, I know it costs 40 something bucks, but take my word for it; this version sounds much better then the HDCD "Original Master Edition" or the Caroline "30th Anniversary Edition".
With all that said, keep in mind that this is a 1969 pop music recording. It has (like most records of the day) a limited dynamic frequency range compared to state of the art recordings of today. The JVC edition of King Crimson's first album is THE very best you will hear. Dim the lights, put yourself in a good pair of headphones, and take a wonderful ride. This is as good as it gets.

The Best Version of the Album that's Out There!.......2006-03-28

This extremely well digitally remastered version of Court in a beautifully designed mini-lp sleeve replica package is a real treat for Crimson fans. Not only has the sound been remastered to perfection but the liner notes are also very well designed with lyrics and paper clippings harking to the old days included to boot. I thought the 30th Anniversary version was great but if you can believe it, this version is much better. The sound quality is excellent and makes the 30th Anniversary version sound mediocre in comparison. For want of a better definition and to satisfy those that absolutely have to categorise everything that they hear, this would be the godfather of the progressive rock genre. To call it the progenitor of progressive rock would be misleading and incorrect as depending upon how you think about it, even Sgt Pepper's, Velvet Underground's first album and Pink Floyd's Sid Barrett days could all be called progressive rock but still this album is a work of art on it's own and is deserving of all the accolades that it has received to date and continues to receive today. Great opening powerhouse track followed by more mellow Moody Blues-like stuff and ending on a powerful note. Essential listening for music hobbyists and a recording that is seminal and really grows on you. Recommended.

music of Japan's imperial court.......2000-06-29

This was a great cd, it containes music that was and is still today played in the imperial courts of Japan, yes it is the same music that the Emperer and his wife listen to. If you are looking for a CD that will show you just some of the splender of the far east then this is the CD to get, even if you dont speak Japanese.

Traditional music with a variety.......2001-08-03

Togi Hideki, a well known Japanese Gagaku ( court music) artist has brought to international listeners, a taste of what real gagaku is. He gives you the various forms from the traditional music found in the imperial palace to old temples and shrises as well as music used for reading Japanese poems and epics. it is well arragned with good explainations( if you can read Japanese) . This CD is a great sampler for any student who is studying music in college. Although at first you may get the hang of, but laterwards if you get the understanding behind its traditions and the meanings it's the best CD anyone can get.
