The Empire Strikes Back: Symphonic Suite

Album by John Williams & National Philharmonic Orchestra & Charles Gerhardt

The Empire Strikes Back: Symphonic Suite is a symphonic suite by American composer John Williams, released in 1980. The work organises and condenses the film score's orchestral material into a concert-style suite characterised by sweeping strings, bold brass writing and recurring leitmotifs, reflecting Williams's continuing development of large-scale film-score composition in his career.
