All Music Guide - Bruce Eder
This quadruple-CD set corrects a multitude of sonic sins that were evident in the original CD release of the Star Wars soundtrack and its sequels. It''s also a veritable festival of John Williams'' music from the George Lucas trilogy, a total-immersion experience in Williams'' boldest 19th century-style body of music, and for those with that preference, it''s a unique experience. The mastering is impeccable, the sound quality amazing, and the annotation very thorough, although one does wish at times that a more objective voice were heard from in the notes -- Williams'' work here was superb, to be sure, but it was also highly derivative of a brace of late-19th century and ...

It''s also a veritable festival of John Williams'' music from the George Lucas trilogy, a total-immersion experience in Williams'' boldest 19th century-style body of music, and for those with that preference, it''s a unique experience. The mastering is impeccable, the sound quality amazing, and the annotation very thorough, although one does wish at times that a more objective voice were heard from in the notes -- Williams'' work here was superb, to be sure, but it was also highly derivative of a brace of late-19th century and early-20th century composers from the concert hall, and one would love to see this acknowledgement somewhere amid the celebration of the music. Since the release of this set, there have been even more ambitious compilations of Williams'' music from these movies assembled, encompassing his scoring for the revised versions of the movies, but this box has a certain unity and purity to it, as the assembly of the music that he wrote for the movies as they were originally released. It''s well worth tracking down and still enjoyable more than a decade later.

    John Williams's finest

    This is most defintately Williams at his best. The three CDs for Episodes IV, V, and VI are great fun to listen to and the fourth CD, the unreleased material, is lovely, as it contains extra orchestrations and pieces not used in the films. If you're going to buy the Star Wars music, get this set. It comes with a book full of photos and prelim sketches, and a track-by-track commentary. I would recommend this to anyone who had seen and enjoyed the original Star Wars movies; hearing these CDs brings back all the greatest moments from the films.

    WOW!

    This is an excellent source for all Star Wars music. You get 4 CD's with all the music from the original trilogy. If you bought just one CD of one of the movies, it would cost you the same amount, if not more than buying this collection! The book that comes with it is great and tells when each song is played and what is happening in the movie at that time! A great find!
