Princess Mononoke Symphonic Suite

Hisaishi's concert suite after the film. Japanese title: 交響組曲 もののけ姫. Japanese CD: 8 July 1998, Tokuma Japan Communications (TKCA-71395).

Studio Ghibli's production diary for the Prague sessions lists Joe Hisaishi as composer, arranger, performer, and producer; Mario Klemens conducting the Czech Philharmonic; recorded June 1998 at Dvořák Hall (Rudolfinum), Prague. Hisaishi plays piano on movements 4 and 8. About 47 minutes.

It pairs with the original soundtrack. The suite stretches film themes into eight movements; it is not a replacement for the cue sheet. Track titles below follow the shrine list.
