Our Take

Joe Hisashi's soundtrack for "The Wind Rises" is a mesmerising journey through the skies of beauty and melancholy. Hisashi's signature blend of classical orchestration and avant-garde experimentation creates a sonic landscape that is as stunning as the film itself.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "A Journey", a track that sets the tone for the rest of the soundtrack. Hisashi's use of delicate piano melodies and soaring strings evokes a sense of wonder and nostalgia that perfectly complements the film's themes of love and loss.

Tracks like "Caproni" and "The Wind Rises" showcase Hisashi's ability to create complex and emotionally resonant pieces that linger long after the final notes have faded away. The orchestration on these tracks is lush and cinematic, with each instrument adding a layer of depth and complexity to the music.

But it's not all tear-jerking ballads and soaring symphonies. Hisashi also injects a sense of playfulness and whimsy into tracks like "The Girl Who Fell From the Sky" and "Gondo Fire" that adds a welcome sense of lightness to the overall soundtrack.

In conclusion, Joe Hisashi's soundtrack for "The Wind Rises" is a triumph of storytelling through music. His ability to evoke emotion and create a sense of atmosphere is truly unparalleled. Whether you're a fan of the film or not, this soundtrack is guaranteed to take you on a musical journey that you won't soon forget.
