A Symphonic Celebration - Music from the Studio Ghibli Films of Hayao Miyazaki [Limited Edition 2CD]
CD: $24.98 PREORDER
Hitchock and Herrmann, Spielberg and Williams, Zemeckis and Silvestri, Burton and Elfman, Fellini and Rota. Theres a certain kind of magic that happens when a director and composer work together for an extended period; their imaginations are fuelled by an artistic sensibility which becomes, inevitably, entwined. Such deep understanding between two artists has proffered memorable, even legendary, cinemusical experiences. But theres another of these partnerships we must honour and mention in the same breath, that of director Hayao Miyazaki and composer Joe Hisaishi.
Nils Frahms double album 'Old Friends New Friends' gathers together 23 solo piano tracks recorded between 2009 and 2021, almost all hitherto unreleased but omitted from previous albums and projects for one reason or another.
The album was pieced together during the pandemic as Frahm used the time to arrange his archives, conscious of the sheer number of recordings hed accumulated. Having selected his favourites, he realised how, when he listened to them together, they offered a different spectrum of freedom for me. I forgot that some tracks are ten years old, some two, and theyre all played on different pianos. Instead I remembered how, as a fan, I love albums like this. With a lot of my records theres a point where you feel, This is the centrepiece, but here I wasnt really worrying about that. It still feels like my universe, though, and Im proud that all these things which I never found a way to unite before now work together. Its like I tossed flowers indiscriminately into a vase and then realised it looked exactly right.
The 140g vinyl records come housed in a single-pocket cardboard jacket, and protected by premium anti-static inner sleeves.
