Star Wars "Throne Room and End Title", conducted by John Axelrod at the film music Gala Concert "Hollywood in Vienna" (October 14th, 2009, Vienna Concert Hall, Radio-Symphony Orchestra Vienna) .....just thrilling!!!!!!
I always thought this majestic rendition of "the force theme" was very William Walton sounding... very regal... perhaps the concept... btw, this orchestra, this arrangement is in perfect balance, beautifully performed... memories of the cinema experience of Star Wars come flooding back.
The tempo was a little fast at times, but is probably one of the better renditions (not conducted by John Williams) that I've seen/heard.

@UFOSPACE1999 It's not that they couldn't afford it, there are still copyright laws that much be taken into account

I guess Vienna could NOT afford the real footage...but they truly sound better than that crappy city of prague crap...
