Vivalis Project presents the finest melodies by Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi from the films of Hayao Miyazaki specially arranged for piano.
Hisaishi’s music has become an essential part of Miyazaki’s cinematic legacy. Although they work in different art forms, these two masters share a kindred aesthetic, creating worlds of ideas and images that naturally complement one another. Hisaishi’s compositions carry the emotions and depth of every scene, giving the great director’s animated films a sense of space and multidimensionality that audiences cherish.
At the piano, melodies unfold from My Neighbor Totoro, Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, The Wind Rises, and other masterpieces.
