For his new release on Deutsche Grammophon, the legendary composer, conductor and pianist Joe Hisaishi highlights his work with another major figure in Japanese cinema, Takeshi Kitano.
This recording is part of the extremely fruitful collaboration with the Wiener Symphoniker, which Hisaishi began at the Musikverein in Vienna in March 2023. ‘Mládí’ was written for piano and strings and is being released on colored vinyl to mark Hisaishi's 74th birthday on December 6.
