Joe Hisaishi conducts a full orchestra on the 15th anniversary of the film.

The first eight tracks consist of Symphonic Suite-like arrangements of the themes, with periodic accompanying dramatic narration discussing the events in the film the music represents. The second eight tracks repeat the same music as before, but this time without narration.
