The work of revered Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi has become synonymous with the magical Studio Ghibli animations of director Hayao Miyazaki. We’re delighted to present his debut DG album, which features 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, it was recorded in London with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. This limited Deluxe Edition 2-disc set includes two bonus tracks "Merry-Go-Round of Life" from Howl's Moving Castle and "One Summer's Day (The Name of Life)" from Spirited Away.
