This release comes in a series of releases from the legendary Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi. W.D.O. BEST features Hisiashi's large orchestral arrangements of the world's modern master-composers, performed by the New Japan Philharmonic World Dream Orchestra with Yasushi Ichihara.
Joe Hisaishi is known for over 100 film scores and solo albums dating back to 1981. While possessing a stylistically distinct sound, Hisaishi's music has been known to explore and incorporate different genres, including minimalist, experimental electronic, European classical, and Japanese classical. Lesser known are the other musical roles he plays; he is also a typesetter, author, arranger, and conductor.
He has been associated with animator Hayao Miyazaki since 1984, having composed scores for all but one of his films.
