1977... I was 10 years old when I watch the first Star Wars movie at the theaters, my brother who was 16 at the time took me. I thought it was the coolest movie that I've ever seen, we both wanted to stay and watch it a second time but we didn't have any money. ( good memories )

Vienna Philaharmonic & John Williams orchestra is also good, I feel this one is just a little bit softer but it is really accurate

I was 7yrs old, sitting in the theater with my father not expecting that I was going to have a memory that has stayed with me this day. No movie as EVER even come close to the power of this intro. The intro rolls in quietly and then all the sudden, a sledgehammer hits, the Corellian Corvette being assaulted by that Star Destroyer, not a peep from any child during that whole movie. Could not keep my eyes from leaving the screen for a nanosecond.

Nothing better than great movie music like this! Listen to those themes and go back in time All you needed was a big box of popcorn to share with someone special!

The talent of these people is world class

A classic music score is one that can be listened to over and over and over again. It never gets old or tiresome. Such it is with a great deal of John Williams' library of masterpieces. The man is a musical genius. In ANY era. Period.

When I hear you all play the music from these fabulous films I am transported back to the happiest time of my life. I still had my family around me and the kids were just the right age to be entranced by the movies and music. I think I have heard the main theme from Star Wars a thousand times, over the years, and it still gives me a thrill as does the music from the other films in your Calaxymphony. Thank you so very much for sharing your marvelous programs on KZread.

Star Wars, still one of my fav movies of my teenage years would have been half as good without the genius of John Williams. This is wonderful.

Wow! Just incredible! - I'm back at the old Odeon cinema in Leicester in 1978 with my dad, and my mind is blown. My normally very down to earth, working class dad is awestruck too! The music, the imagery, characters, story, the HEART, the sheer excitement, electricity and good energy that was in the air both in the cinema, and in the streets for this film across all ages was UNIQUE. My dad and I have this as a special moment. The generation that saw this film back in the 70's, when it was fresh were TRULY blessed and I will NEVER forget it!!!

I remember when the theaters had ‘ushers’ that would escort people out at the end of the show. The bathrooms would be full of people ready to run back into this movie to see it twice.

I was 7 when SW came out. Dad said "I'm taking you to see a movie tonight". The fact that he was so secretive about it and built it up made me suspicious. Being suspicious made me think it was a trick, and I wouldn't like it. So finally he told me the title.....Star Wars. But because I was already upset and suspicious, I thought the title was about celebrities. "STARS=CELEBRITIES". At that time, Battle of the Network Stars was a big thing on TV. Celebrities competing in sports and games. So he forced me to go. I threw a tender tantrum. Didn't want to go. Then I got to the theater, and saw the movie poster. I stood there, mouth wide open, mesmerized. Watched the movie, and was addicted. Later, I had to have every toy, and Star Wars became a big part of my childhood from 1977 to around 1983 when I started to outgrow it. Now I have SW stuff for fun. And this May, will go to the Star Wars experience at Disney.

'One of' The Most Powerful piece's of movie cinema Music-Movie-Magic🎉❤

I watch it the first week it was out. In full giant screen with dolby surround sound, loud enough to make the building shake. WOW what an experince and event! It was the only large screen dolby sound theater around and it filled up every showing. With audience fans shouting, booing and cheering it was an unforgettable event!

The original soundtrack LP was a goldmine to me back in 1977. The poster, the liner notes, the film stills, and the music were etched in my mind as a teenager. The 2:08 mark in this video still brings a tear of joy 45 years later. Thanks for this brilliant performance.

Still... After all these years of watching Star Wars. Whenever that first note hits. I just get chills down my spine, and my eyes always tears up. Every damn time. And I absolutely love it!!!

one single word to sum up: "Goosebumps".

This theme has always been magical. I can't hear it without getting the chills. I've seen them all in the theater (starting with the Special Editions in 1997) and it's always been the best piece of music I've ever heard.

I love this conductor. I will never get tired of hearing Star Wars music.

The sound quality of this recording is exquisite.

John Williams's work certainly enlivens Star Wars to a capacity of success it never would have otherwise enjoyed. John understood what George wanted but be gently pressed him to let him write his own thing; George wanted an old opera piece called Planets or something. Williams told George to let him come up with something inspired by it. Although they bear resemblance, this is head and shoulders above anything else prior. This is galvanizing!

Beyond amazing is all I can say. This orchestra is fantastic

This music is so fullfilling and to watch the musicians perform gives a whole new enjoyment! Thank You Thank You Thank You!!! Nothing done to this level is done without an extreme effort and pure soul!!!

this will always be in every childs heart who has watched star wars. Really amazing

Let's all take minute to just behold the greatness that is John Williams!!!!!!!!!

I have not words to express so great this orquertra it is.

I only get the ASMR sensation from orchestra music and this is a perfect example of that.

First violin produced a quite physical as well as musical performance! 1

This is by far the very best and most faithful rendition of this piece that I have ever heard and such an emotional experience. Thank you.

George Lucas’ jaw must have fallen agape when John Williams first presented this piece to him. I am still blown away 47 years later.

Star Wars had been out all summer in '77 but I didn't see it until November, and even then only as an impulse because I had nothing better to do that evening. The movie was experiencing a second wave at the time so it was a packed house, in a very fancy, old school, single screen theater downtown with balconies, chandeliers, a stage, a killer sound system, and actual curtains that dramatically parted when the movie began. When the lights went down, the first notes of this fabulous theme music started, the movie began (projected through the curtains for the first few seconds), and the curtains parted, it was a memorable moment indeed.

My five year old self watching Star Wars in '77 and hearing the epic theme will forever be ingrained in my heart.

John Williams in my humble opinion is the best composer in our lifetime.
