Title: Varese Sarabande's Anthology Soars High
Review: This 1983 release follows Varese Sarabande's wonderful treatment of John Williams' score for The Empire Strikes Back for one of the first compilation albums of music from all three films of the George Lucas Star Wars trilogy.On this recording, the Utah Symphony Orchestra and conductor Varujan Kojian present several selections from Star Wars, The Empire Striikes Back, and the then-recently released Return of the Jedi. (For Star Wars music history fans, this album was the first one to release several "cues" from Jedi, including "Darth Vader's Death.")Although this CD has been followed by Sony's "The Star Wars Trilogy: John Williams Conducts John Williams," the more complete (and more expensive) boxed set and the Special Edition 2-disc soundtracks, the audio quality is excellent and the performance by Maestro Kojian and the Utah Symphony is quite good.
