On 30 March 2023, Deutsche Grammophon announced the signing of an exclusive agreement with Joe Hisaishi, the revered Japanese composer whose work has become synonymous with the magical Studio Ghibli animations of director Hayao Miyazaki. Spanning the full spectrum of Hisaishi’s work as composer, conductor and pianist, the deal will deliver a richly varied range of audio and audiovisual recordings. For his first DG album, out now, Hisaishi has created an exciting series of symphonic arrangements of his original soundtracks for such Ghibli classics as Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, and My Neighbor Totoro. Fittingly titled A Symphonic Celebration and made in London with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the composer, the album presents state-of-the-art recordings of the extraordinary music of this much-loved artistic force in animated movie-making.Track Listing:1 Merry-Go-Round Of Life (from 'Howls Moving Castle')2 One Summer's Day (The Name of Life) (English Version from 'Spirited Away')3 The Legend of the Wind (from 'Nausicaa¨ of the Valley of the Wind')4 Nausicaa¨ Requiem (from 'Nausicaa¨ of the Valley of the Wind')5 The Battle between Mehve and Corvette (from 'Nausicaa¨ of the Valley of the Wind')6 The Distant Days (from 'Nausicaa¨ of the Valley of the Wind')7 The Bird Man (from 'Nausicaa¨ of the Valley of the Wind')8 A Town with an Ocean View (from 'Kiki's Delivery Service')9 Heartbroken Kiki (from 'Kiki's Delivery Service')10 Mother’s Broom (from 'Kiki's Delivery Service')11 The Legend of Ashitaka (from 'Princess Mononoke')12 The Demon God (from 'Princess Mononoke')13 Princess Mononoke (from 'Princess Mononoke')14 A Journey (A Dream of Flight) (from 'The Wind Rises')15 Nahoko (The Encounter) (from 'The Wind Rises')16 A Journey (A Kingdom of Dreams) (from 'The Wind Rises')17 Deep Sea Pastures (from 'Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea')18 Mother Sea (from 'Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea')19 Ponyo's Sisters Lend a Hand - A Song for Mothers and the Sea20 Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea (from 'Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea').21 Doves and the Boy (from 'Castle in the Sky')22 Carrying You (from 'Castle in the Sky')23 Bygone Days (from 'Porco Rosso')24 Symphonic Variation Merry-Go-Round + Cave of Mind25 One Summer's Day (The Name of Life)26 Reprise (from 'Spirited Away')27 The Path of the Wind (from 'My Neighbor Totoro')28 Hey Let's Go (from 'My Neighbor Totoro')29 My Neighbor Totoro (from 'My Neighbor Totoro')This album is broadcasted with the permission of Crossover Media Music Promotion (Zachary Swanson and Amanda Bloom).
