練習中 - [Joe Hisaishi] Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind ~ Opening Theme Performed on YAMAHA YDS-150

I performed "The Opening Theme" from Studio Ghibli's masterpiece Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, composed by Joe Hisaishi.
This time, I used YAMAHA's digital saxophone, the YDS-150, to express the piece with the soprano saxophone tone.
The recording was done in 32-bit float, focusing on capturing delicate nuances and the expansive feel of the sound.

This song symbolizes the grandeur of nature and the world of Nausicaä as seen in the opening scenes of the film. Through my performance, I hope to convey even a fraction of its beauty and emotion. Although there are still parts of my playing that need improvement, I would be delighted if you could take a listen!

This opening theme, composed by Joe Hisaishi, is a breathtaking piece that enhances the movie's epic atmosphere. In this performance, I paid special attention to the transition from the serene opening to the powerful crescendo, aiming to deliver a heartfelt rendition.
