Description
George Lucas signed John Williams to write a rousing orchestral score for the original Star Wars after having temp-tracked the film with everything from Erich Wolfgang Korngold's swashbuckling Errol Flynn scores to Holst's 1918 suite "The Planets." What Williams came up with: a rousing opening fanfare (aka the Star Wars theme), a mysterious horn passage that would be identified as "The Force" theme, a gentle flute motif associated with Princess Leia., the ragtime Cantina music, the climactic Death Star dogfight finale and a host of memorable cues, marches and leitmotifs, highlight one of the most memorable scores ever devised for a Hollywood film. Star Wars marked a resurgence in orchestral film scores and turned Williams into the hottest commodity in the soundtrack scoring scene almost overnight.
The most acclaimed and enduring film music in Hollywood history, the original soundtrack of Star Wars Episode V is now available in a limited, gold-coloured vinyl edition. The original soundtrack by the legendary five-time Oscar®-winning composer, John Williams, features music restored from the original LP masters. All audio was transferred using the highest resolution (up to 192kHz/24bit) and pressed with heavy 180g vinyl. In the deluxe gatefold sleeves, faithfully replicating the original cover art, the double-LP set is pressed on GOLDEN vinyl, making this a unique collector’s item.
