LP Joe Hisaishi - Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind

Hisaishi is one of Japan's most prolific and celebrated composers, creating over 100 film scores and albums to date, including every Hayao Miyazaki animation since they first crossed paths, with the exception of Whisper of the Heart, which Miyazaki didn't direct. Hisaishi first caught the attention of Ghibli founder Hayao Miyazaki in the early '80s, when he was hired to compose an "image album" for the film Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind while it was being made. After hearing the image album, Miyazaki requested that Hisaishi replace the original composer hired to create the music for Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind.
