JOE HISAISHI & ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA A Symphonic Celebration | Music from the Studio Ghibli films of Hayao Miyazaki (Deutsche Grammophon UK/EU limited edition double album 2-LP pressed on Yellow Vinyl. A Symphonic Celebration marks Joe Hisaishi's first album for Deutsche Grammophon and presents newly arranged symphonic versions of his most celebrated film music. Best known for his enduring collaboration with directorHayao Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli, Hisaishi here reimagines themes from Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, Nausica of the Valley of the Wind, and more for full orchestra. Recorded in London with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Hisaishi himself, the album offers expansive, high-fidelity interpretations that retain the emotional clarity of the original scores while allowing greater orchestral breadth. The arrangements highlight Hisaishi's dual identity as both cinematic storyteller and contemporary classical composer, drawing on minimalism, lyricism, and carefully layered dynamics. The performances feature contributions from soprano Grace Davidson, mandolin virtuoso Avi Avital, trumpeter Phil Cobb, The Bach Choir, The Tiffin Choirs, and vocal appearances from Mai Fujisawa, reinforcing the album's sense of scale and ceremonial weight. A Symphonic Celebration stands as both a retrospective and a reinvention, presenting Hisaishi's music in a concert-hall context without losing its narrative power. Gatefold picture sleeve with hype sticker, factory sealed. Recommended)
