THE BOY AND THE HERON Joe Hisaishi

Symphonic Suite The Boy and the Heron for piano and orchestra

<p data-pm-slice="1 1 []">Symphonic Suite the Boy and the Heron for piano and orchestra</p>

<div>Internationally acclaimed Japanese composer and conductor <strong>Joe Hisaishi</strong> announces his upcoming album<em> The Boy and the Heron</em>, a newly reimagined concert work based on his Golden Globe-winning score for Studio Ghibli's Academy Award-winning film of the same name by Hayao Miyazaki.&nbsp; &nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The project was recorded with the <strong>Royal Philharmonic Orchestra</strong> and features Hisaishi himself as piano soloist. Rather than simply arranging the original soundtrack, the pianist 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. An essential release from one of today's most celebrated composers.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>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;&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The album is released digitally, on CD and on vinyl on 6 November and is<strong> now available for pre-order</strong>. Special limited editions of both the vinyl and the CD will be available exclusively from the <a href="https://store.deutschegrammophon.com/en-de/collections/joe-hisaishi">DG Store</a> and are also available for pre-order.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><strong>Listen to a first pre-release track</strong>, an orchestral arrangement of the main theme <em>Ask Me Why II</em> from the movie.</div>
