Joe Hisaishi in Vienna: Symphony No. 2, Viola Saga
Tamestit, Vienna

I don't know this composer or conductor, but I saw it on new releases and figured I'd give it a go. We'll see...

Joe Hisaishi has composed music for a number of outstanding films, notably the masterpieces of director Hayao Miyazaki, such as Spirited Away, which is rightly regarded as one of the most important animated films in world's cinematography. Apart from anything else, Joe Hisaishi also conducts, his cycle of Beethoven symphonies for Exton is most remarkable.

Symphony No.3

[Roasted Swan]

Joe Hisaishi has composed music for a number of outstanding films, notably the masterpieces of director Hayao Miyazaki, such as Spirited Away, which is rightly regarded as one of the most important animated films in world's cinematography. Apart from anything else, Joe Hisaishi also conducts, his cycle of Beethoven symphonies for Exton is most remarkable.

Plenty of great composers can move easily and effectively between the worlds of concert hall / cinema / 'lighter' music.  I have no knowledge of Hisaishi's more "serious" work.  All I do know is that his lighter music that I have encountered is - for me - anodyne.
