The Merry Go Round of LIfe by Joe Hisaishi ( Anime piano "Howl's Moving Castle"). Arr. Animenz

Rachel Billings performs 'The Merry Go Round Of Life' from Howl's Moving Castle , composed originally by Joe Hisaishi for orchestra and also available in a beautiful piano arrangment written by the pianist Animenz.
I stumbled accoss this music recently by accident and it is just so beautiful 😍. The original orchestral music (with a little piano) is also gorgeous. This is a type of Anime music (music set to Japanese cartoons) and regrettably the cartoon itself I do not know (at first I thought it perhaps the strangest coincidence that the arranger of this work is called Animenz 😆 . But infact it's just the stage name of Japanese pianist and composer, Takashi Masuzaki due to his focus on arranging and performing Anime music).
I tend to do things back to front, playing something simply because I love the music then finding out about the piece/its meaning/something about it afterwards (hopefully a good meaning)😁.
I will continue to record more Chopin, and also Rachmaninoff etc but this music is also beautiful and and provides a welcome break.
My daughter loves horses 🐎 so thoroughly approved of the pink horse carrousel thumbnail. The music is very dance like, and changes character so much, but often uplifting, creating the feeling of being spun around in a carefree fashion (like on a merry go round).
