Recorded in London by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the composer, its tracks are newly arranged by Hisaishi for symphony orchestra and features Grace Davidson, Avi Avital, Bach Choir and Stephen Morris. Hisaishi ranks among Japan’s greatest composers of all time and is famed worldwide for his collaborative work with Oscar-winning director, animator and Studio Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir creative partnership began in 1984 with the post-apocalyptic anime feature\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eNausicaä of the Valley of the Wind\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand has since developed to the point that they are now likened to other legendary director-composer pairings, including Hitchcock and Herrmann, Fellini and Rota, Leone and Morricone, and Spielberg and Williams. Indeed, Hisaishi’s reputation has been secured by the fact that his soundtracks have won eight Japanese Academy Awards, an unprecedented achievement. He is equally acknowledged, however, as a conductor and as a composer of contemporary classical music, much of it minimalistic and experimental in nature, like that of friends and colleagues such as Philip Glass, Terry Riley and Nico Muhly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding-left: 30px;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.
