Title: Want the SW trilogy? Get the one on Varese Sarabande!!
Review: I already owned another "Star Wars Trilogy" on "Varese Sarabande" recording label. I have to say that this version (on "Sony" music label) is not as good as the Varese one. The Sony recording is boomy and somewhat loose. The Varese is very tight and with better sound all around. The orchestra on the Varese is the Utah Symphony Orchestra conducted by Varujan Kojian and their performace beats the one on this CD. Yes! Even if this one is conducted by Mr.Williams himself. Trust me. I've been listening to classical music since I was a child and I can tell a good performance from a not-so-good one. For instance the timpani (the big noisy drum) in "The Asteroid Field" goes pratically unnoticed on the "Sony" recording; on the "Varese" you can hear those timpany loud and clear! The tempo on the "Varese" recording is not loose as it is on the Sony recording. Do yourself a favour and don't get this recording; get the "Varese Sarabande" one, instead.
