In the past Joe Hisaishi has produced quite many compilations of his works, so called the "The Best of" albums. However, in my opinion, this collection is really the best one. It combines very classically sounding tunes as well as jazzy and lounge one (ex. Silent Love). I especially appreciate that album includes themes from studio Ghibli animations and compositions with Erhu accompaniments (ex. Kaze no bon). I highly recommend this CD to anyone who would like to listen to a quality music worth awards.

Description
[Machine Translation] The album is composed of selected tracks from the 8 albums released by Joe Hisaishi's private label, Wonderland Records, selected and remastered by Mr. Hisaishi himself. The songs include "Legend of the Wind" from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" Suite (revised version), songs from the first album of the popular series "Piano Stories" (released only on indie label), "Silent Love", the main theme of Takeshi Kitano's movie "Ano Natsu, Ichiban Shizukana Umi", and "Inochino Uta", a song recently covered by Ayaka Hirahara as "Inochi no Uta" (Poem of Life). For You" from the movie "Mizu no Tabibito - Samurai Kids", which was the theme song of Miho Nakayama at the time and became a hot topic, and "Kazanobon" from the NHK drama "Kazanobon" (which participated in the Art Festival), and many more rare and treasured sound sources never released on major labels! Mai, the daughter of Joe Hisaishi (who is scheduled to make her album debut in 2007), sings "Sakura ga Saita yo" (The Cherry Blossoms Are Blooming), which showcases her clear voice.
