Image Symphonic Suite Howl's Moving Castle

Amazon review

When you think of Hayao Miyazaki's films, you hear music by Joe Hisaishi. Prior to the completion of a work, it is customary to release an "image album" separately from the soundtrack edition, and this album was also inspired by Howl's Moving Castle, which was released in the summer of 2004. thing. The album was made with great effort, having traveled to Prague to have it performed by the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and was mixed down and mastered at Abbey Road Studios in London. Hisaishi himself says, ``I aimed to create a world view 100% with music,'' and this album is entirely composed of carefully constructed orchestral pieces. There's nothing outlandish about it, but catchy melodies that could be called Hisaishi-bushi pop up throughout, and you'll never get bored. (Gokichi Wakasunya)
