Two of Joe Hisaishi's most beloved Studio Ghibli scores, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, are reimagined for solo piano on this Mononoke & Chihiro Piano Collection, a UK import.
Released in 2026, the album is a new recording rather than a vintage soundtrack. Pianist Nicolas Horvath performs all 26 pieces, working from Hisaishi's official piano scores, so the melodies stay faithful to the films while the textures become more intimate. Stripped of the orchestra, the music reveals just how strong Hisaishi's writing is at its core, with every theme carried by a single instrument and a lot of feeling.
The first half follows Ashitaka's story. "The Legend of Ashitaka" opens with its stately, sweeping theme, and the tender "Princess Mononoke" melody lands with real ache in this quieter form. The second half drifts into Chihiro's world, where "One Summer's Day" sets a mood of gentle nostalgia and "Always with Me" brings the collection to a hushed, wistful close, with "Chihiro's Waltz" twirling just before it.
For Ghibli devotees, it is a lovely way to revisit two films that shaped a generation of animation fans, and it also works beautifully as quiet evening listening. Put it on, dim the lights, and let the bathhouse and the forest spirits come to you.
