 Hits the highlights November 14, 2008
This is a great CD if you just want the best of the old Star Wars Trilogy. My kids love it. We've used it as a soundtrack for many of our homemade movies. You may have to pick up the soundtrack from Phantom Menace if you want to add Duel of the Fates.

Best of Episodes IV - VI May 16, 2007

It has been said before -- if you want the best all on one CD, then this is the best sampler to get.
Conducted by the Skywalker Symphony Orchestra, there shines through an obvious love of the material being played. These are among the best versions I've ever heard of these songs and the production quality is first rate.
My only slight niggle would be that at times, the horn section seem to come through a little too strong, but that might just be my tastes and my sound system. And it is not enough to keep me from giving it 5 stars. All the best from 3 of the best movie soundtracks in the past 30 years.
 If you don't want to buy each score, get this compilation September 29, 2006

This is a great representation of the excellent music Williams wrote for the original trilogy. Many of these tracks are completely fantastic. There are a couple of tracks that I wouldn't have added to this compilation in favor of adding others (the sand people track is pretty boring) and the cantina music ends with some really weird sounding synth effects or something, but the rest of the album is great. I'd give it 4 1/2 if I could.
una gran seleccion de star wars January 8, 2005

Lo primero que llama la atencion es la orquesta, es un conjunto selecto de interpretes de Los angeles, San francisco y otros que reunidos forman esta Skywalker Symphony Orchestra que instalada en el rancho de george lucas se dio la tarea de registrar este conjunto de temas de Star Wars.
Y el resultado es esplendido hay que decirlo, el sonido es excelente, existe gran fiato y la orquesta suena grandiosa.
La seleccion esta bien hecha, como es una grabacion de 1991 se obto por recordar lo mejor y grandes momentos, asi no podia dejarse de lado la musica de la cantina una pieza exquicita que se le agrego algunos toques con sintetizadores y suena increible. Esta parades of Ewoks y little people que son muy entretenidas llenas de un encanto casi infantil, nada que comentar respecto de los temas inolvidables de la princesa Leia, de Yoda y el de Luke y Leia, hermosos, la cautivante marcha imperial y la apoteosis de la batalla en los bosques de Endor. Ademas la voragine de campo de asteroides y here they come!, y el exquisito solo de tuba en Jabba the hutt. Para finalizar el principio y el fin, el tema principal es sin lugar a dudas una pieza que no podra ser igualada, increible, y para finalizar throne room en una presentacion incomparable.
Es un CD grandioso, que hace Williams mejor director junto aun grupo grandioso de interpretes para una seleccion sin igual.
