Title

Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Joe Hisaishi

THE BOY AND THE HERON Joe Hisaishi

Symphonic Suite The Boy and the Heron for piano and orchestra

Symphonic Suite the Boy and the Heron for piano and orchestra

Internationally acclaimed Japanese composer and conductor Joe Hisaishi&rsquo;s album The Boy and the Heron is a newly reimagined concert work based on his Golden Globe-winning score for Studio Ghibli&rsquo;s Academy Award-winning film of the same name by Hayao Miyazaki.
The project was recorded with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and features Hisaishi himself as piano soloist. Rather than simply arranging the original soundtrack, Hisaishi has completely recomposed the music into a standalone symphonic work for the concert hall. Beloved themes from the film are woven into a rich orchestral narrative, creating an atmospheric and emotionally compelling listening experience. The result is an essential release from one of today&rsquo;s most celebrated composers.
Speaking about the process of recomposing his original score, Hisaishi says: &ldquo;I usually create a suite based on a soundtrack in the same year as a film is released. This time I waited a little longer, and then decided to entirely rewrite the music for the concert hall. The Symphonic Suite is therefore a standalone piece, completely independent from the film.&rdquo;
The album is available digitally, on CD and on LP. Order the CD and LP versions in the&nbsp;<a href="https://store.deutschegrammophon.com/de-de/collections/joe-hisaishi">DG Store</a>.
