In my opinion, Escaflowne has the best soundtrack set of any animated series; all of the Escaflowne soundtracks are amazing and you wouldn't be disappointed if you had only one to choose from. That being said, this one is my personal favorite as it contains what I consider two of the most beautiful songs in the entire series ("Farewell" and "Arcadia") plus a couple of performances from Maaya Sakamoto (whose voice is also divine). If you can get your hands on a copy, I strongly suggest getting this one. And while you're at it, check out other works composed by Yoko Kanno - she's simply amazing.

Firstly, Escaflowne is a great classic anime, and one of my personal favorites. The visuals are a bit dated (1995), but what made the show was the plot, the world, and the audio!
2nd, All of the Escaflowne CDs are incredible. Especially lovers only (a 'best of' for the series), and the movie soundtrack. This is all due to the work of Yoko Kanno (Cowboy bebop, darker than black, Macross, RahXephon, among other greats). Escaflowne may be my favorite of all her work, but everything she touches turns to gold.
Lastly, the CD Info, because it is often hard to find the correct information:
