Castle In The Sky by Zhu Xinrong is a gracefully rendered instrumental album that pays homage to the emotional soundscapes of legendary Japanese composer Joe Hisaishi. Released in 2013 by Rainforest Music, this collection features 14 beautifully arranged solo piano interpretations of some of the most iconic themes from Studio Ghibli films, brought to life through Zhu Xinrong’s delicate touch and emotional sensitivity.

The album opens with The Changing Season, setting a gentle, contemplative tone that carries throughout the entire work. Standout pieces such as Castle In The Sky (Innocent), One Summer's Day, and Princess Mononoke showcase Zhu's deep understanding of Hisaishi's lyrical language, transforming familiar melodies into intimate, heartfelt piano expressions. Her interpretation of Reprise and Haha Kourukokoro (A Mother’s Heart) are especially poignant, blending nostalgia with subtle dynamic shading.

Each track flows naturally into the next, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that evokes feelings of reflection, longing, and quiet wonder. The Path of the Wind and Legend of the Wind are rendered with lightness and charm, while the tender Rain and Bygone Days close the album on a soft, melancholic note.

Zhu Xinrong’s technique is precise yet never mechanical; she plays with a lyrical phrasing that respects the original compositions while adding her personal warmth and introspective tone. The production quality is clean and spacious, allowing the piano’s resonance to breathe and immerse the listener fully.

For fans of Joe Hisaishi, Studio Ghibli, or calming solo piano music, Castle In The Sky is a gentle and moving tribute—an album that soothes, inspires, and quietly stirs the heart.
