flytrumpet 0 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Here you go,easy question.I know the OST version is not the same as the concert version,but I included it in the poll anyway.Vote away.My favorite is the Utah one...Although it's hard to resist the LSO version.

Datameister 2,037 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I've only heard the OST and the Prague recording...between the two, I'm sure no one could guess what my preference is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego 21 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I've always loved the beginning with the very strong rendition of the Imperial March from the film version, so I'll go with the OST. If it's the concert piece I like the Gerhardt one, (although I do not have the Boston Pops recording, but I do have all of the others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flytrumpet 0 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I also like the LSO very much for that great intro.But as far as tempo and clarity of recording I have to go with Utah.Not by much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Had to go for OST - purely because it has more bollocks than the other recordings. I would like to put it in a better way with a little subtlety, but in the end it's just down to the ballsy LSO giving it some.And then a little bit more, just to make sure.

flytrumpet 0 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 The OST version sure has a lot of drive to it for sure.Man the more I listen to it the more I think I might have to change my vote....Altough I really think the Utah performance is great,well balanced with a good blend.

Marian Schedenig 8,178 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I can't stand the Gerhardt recording. I love the OST and the Skywalker recording, both are great in different ways. I haven't yet heard the Utah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I would have said the Meco version but it wasn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,507 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Actually, can I add another category:"Seeing it performed live by the L.S.O., conducted by some bloke calling himself John Williams, at The Barbican Centre, in June, 1982"?
