Joe Hisaishi – Howl's Moving Castle (2-LP Vinyl)

$49.95

Joe Hisaishi's decades-long collaboration with director Hayao Miyazaki has produced some of the most beloved orchestral film music of the past half-century, and the 2004 score for Howl's Moving Castle ranks among their most sweeping and romantically ambitious work together. Hisaishi's gift for melody that feels simultaneously nostalgic and timeless finds its fullest expression here, weaving waltzes and orchestral swells into a sonic world as transportive as Miyazaki's visuals.

Soundtracks including the scores used in the film, including the main theme "The Promise of the World" sung by Chieko Baisho who is a voice actress of the main character, Sophie.Music by Joe Hisaishi* 2xLP gatefold jacket (recorded in Side A, B, C, and no music recorded in back side of Side C)
