Great Video ! Pity there weren't more of these. A rare glimpse of the recording process with the great LSO at Abbey Road Studios in London. Features the intimate relationship between the LSO and JW, Williams giving directions on playing styles and pitching, close-up shots of many veteran Star Wars LSO musicians and best - the complete performance and recording of "Battle of the Heroes". Enjoy ! http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/bts/me3/17.html

No problem. I know it's gonna be a long shot. No one at the Box Office seem to know what the programs are except they will feature film music and the 25th and 29th have the same program. I think there are still good tickets for the 26th and 29th. Good luck !

Thought fans would like to know. "Thank you for your question. Yes, we are recording the music from all six Star Wars films in early September. Ordinarily this would mean a fall 2006 release. Watch our website for release information around that time. Best wishes, Teri McKibben Publications Editor Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestras" Hope all tracks are new recordings (including those from the first 5)

Hi, Will be visiting Chicago in Nov. Bought a pair of $ 52 tickets for the 29th. Won't be able to attend. Any takers ? Although programme details are not out yet, I understand from the Box Office that Programmes for the 25th (which is almost sold out) and the 29th are the same. 26th is the other programme.
