Overall, I think the 2010 sounds just slightly better - more "relaxed", not so noisy and bombastic. There's more depth to the sound, which makes it more clear, even if some sections are slightly fainter than the previous. 2009 has louder overall feel, as if all of the instruments are up front.

Thanks for taking time to give feedback (and to listen) Burdokva. I'm glad you caught what has been intented from v.2 to v.3 !

The livelier tracks sound great, but it's a bit too much for me.

The selection of the tracks has its importance on such a set. Well it' s a heavy score and a bonus track section is hard to endure after the "storytelling" of the entire film.

The C. Gerhardt recordings of "The Asteroid Field" and "Han & Leia" are two concert versions arrangement that we usually don't know about and that we even don't know if they've been performed by the London Symphony in that shape.

Unfortunately I share your appreciation so much that it was enough someone told me that for I remove the 3 C.G. tracks. Let's focus on the London Symphony ;)

... Then, tracks OUT ! :)

I still like them both. There's seem to be new version, however.. maybe I should wait until the actual final, definitive one? :p

I highly recommend that. What you noticed (the fainter sections on v.3) won't be a problem anymore I think.
