Cat# 7559799013	GEZA MUSIC FROM THE KABUKI (SALE)
NONESUCH EXPLOR Released: 20 Feb 2009 Country: JAPAN Price: £6.45	Kabuki exists beside the courtly Noh theatre and the puppet, or doll, theatre, and is a combination of vocal and instrumental music, dancing, pantomime, drama, and costumes on a stage. This newly remastered title, recorded in Japan, features the scene-setting geza (off-stage) music, chiefly of Kabuki, but in some cases adapted from Noh drama. Musicians employ the shamisen, flutes, bells, and drums to produce spare, percussive sounds that suggest Balinese Gamelan music performed in slow motion.
