STAGE+, el servicio de suscripción musical y plataforma de streaming de Deutsche Grammophon, el sello discográfico más antiguo del mundo, ha publicado un vídeo de 98 minutos del concierto que Joe Hisaishi ofreció el 30/3/2023 en Viena con la Wiener Symphoniker (leer más).

Joe Hisaishi, una leyenda viva de la música de cine, dirigió a la Wiener Symphoniker en un concierto en el que presentó música de algunas de sus partituras cinematográficas más conocidas junto a su Segunda Sinfonía. El compositor de música para más de 100 películas, incluidas muchas para el Studio Ghibli de Hayao Miyazaki, fusiona múltiples estilos -desde el minimalismo y la electrónica hasta las tradiciones clásicas occidental y japonesa- presentando un mundo sonoro inimitable y propio.

Este concierto, filmado a finales de marzo de 2023, marca un momento histórico, ya que dirige su música, incluida la Suite Sinfónica de «La princesa Mononoke», en la Sala Dorada del legendario Musikverein de Viena, que agotó sus entradas. Este concierto forma parte de la nueva serie de conciertos “CINEMA:SOUND” creada por Tomek Productions.

Por otro lado, Deutsche Grammophon ha publicado el 30/6/2023 el álbum “A Symphonic Celebration – Music From The Studio Ghibli Films Of Hayao Miyazaki” grabado por Joe Hisaishi en Londres con la Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Descripción oficial:

“For his first album on Deutsche Grammophon, Joe Hisaishi, the revered Japanese composer whose work has become synonymous with the magical Studio Ghibli animations of director Hayao Miyazaki has created 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 presents state-of-the-art recordings of his extraordinary work for this much-loved artistic force in animated movie-making. 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. Their creative partnership began in 1984 with the post-apocalyptic anime feature Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind and 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.”
