Joe Hisaishi, the creator of the iconic Studio Ghibli sound, announces his 2nd Deutsche Grammophon album. “Joe Hisaishi in Vienna” captures Hisaishi’s debut in conducting and recording at the legendary Vienna Musikverein. There the Japanese composer, conductor and pianist also premiered two of his compositions – Symphony No. 2 with the Wiener Symphoniker and Viola Saga with soloist Antoine Tamestit. The album is set for release on 28 June.

On 30 March last year, Joe Hisaishi made his triumphant debut on the podium of a sold-out Vienna Musikverein, conducting a programme of his own works. The new recording follows on from his immensely successful DG debut, A Symphonic Celebration – Music from the Studio Ghibli films of Hayao Miyazaki, one of the best-selling classical albums worldwide in 2023.
