Joe Hisaishi - Symphonic Suite The Boy and the Heron for piano and orchestra

With The Boy and the Heron – Symphonic Suite for Piano and Orchestra, Joe Hisaishi presents a concert work based on his Golden Globe-winning score for Hayao Miyazaki’s Academy Award-winning Studio Ghibli film The Boy and the Heron. Hisaishi has reworked the original film score into a standalone symphonic composition for the concert hall. The recording features the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, with Hisaishi himself as piano soloist. Familiar themes from the film are woven into a richly orchestrated narrative, transforming the atmosphere and emotional depth of the original work into a new musical experience.
