KYOTO THE ULTIMATE SOUND SOUVENIR



Serving as the Imperial capital for over a thousand years (794-1869), Kyoto was Japan’s most substantial arts centre, especially in the field of music. Elegant courtly composition (known as gagaku) flourished there, as did nô theatre with its songs and dances, but also forms aimed at the merchant-classes, such as choreography (in kabuki theatre), melodies for the samisen (lute) or the sitar-like koto, as well as music to accompany traditional celebrations. This record is a genuine musical encyclopaedia which takes us on a captivating, instructive journey through melodic soundscapes at the hands of some of Japan’s major performers. Christophe LOINTIER

KYOTO FA583

Kyoto - The Ultimate Sound Souvenir

Capitale impériale pendant plus de mille ans (794-1869), Kyoto fut le plus substantiel terreau des arts japonais - pour la musique notablement. Y fleurirent le gagaku, composition pour la noblesse de cour, le théâtre no, chanté et dansé, mais également des formes destinées à la classe marchande comme le théâtre kabuki chorégraphié, les mélodies pour le shamisen (luth) ou pour le koto (cithare), ainsi que les musiques d’accompagnement lors des fêtes traditionnelles. Véritable encyclopédie musicale, ce disque est donc l’occasion d’un édifiant et captivant voyage à travers ces divers paysages mélodiques, tracés par les interprètes les plus importants du Japon contemporain.
