""Elegant" music, likely the oldest existing form of orchestral music in the world, Gagaku is presented here in a richly authentic performance recorded in Kyoto, Japan. Rarely performed in public (and even more rarely in the West) this is profoundly intense and affecting music exquisitely performed by the Kyoto Imperial Court Orchestra. Prepare yourself for Gagaku of Japan - haunting, powerful, and unforgettable music of ceremony!
Includes Etenraku (music of divinity), Hassan (crane dance), and Nasori (dragon dance)."
From Lyrichord.
The above review doesn't exactly do justice to this recording - It needs to be heard to be believed.

I love Gagaku!
Thanks.
First of all, what a great post!
Next, to warn you about the dead links or some of your Recordings on your "A. Wallace & Tom Hall" myspace, If you would be so kind to upload them, since there's nowhere on the web with those avaiable anymore! (not even on soulseek :P) Thanks!
Thanks for letting me know. Damn you Mediafire. I'm in the process of re-upping them now. Glad you enjoyed the Gagaku!
It's Great! :D
