Yeah, big news.  Here's an interview with Hiroaki Yura about the project, their collaboration with the composers/arrangers, and the possibility of another Echoes of War album in the future:

Yay, it got announced! I have no doubt from what I've heard that this will be an excellently done project that should appeal to fans of Blizzard soundtracks and orchestral game music arrangements alike. Didn't expect the Legendary Edition to be just days away though. Very cool!

Here's the track list from the soundtrack's official site, which has some audio samples as well.

Disc 1
The Third War Symphony (from Warcraft III)
1. Journey to Kalimdor
2. Eternity’s End
The Shadow of the Legion Symphony (from World of Warcraft & World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade)
3. A Tenuous Pact
4. Anar’alah Belore
5. The Betrayer and The Sun King     
(from World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King)    
6. The Visions of the Lich King Overture     
      
Disc 2
The Koprulu Symphony (from StarCraft & StarCraft: Ghost)
7. No Matter the Cost     
8. En Taro Adun     
9. Eradicate and Evolve     
10. Victorious but not unscarred     
(from Starcraft II)
11. The Hyperion Overture     
The Symphony of Sanctuary (from Diablo, Diablo II, Diablo II: Lord of Destruction & Diablo III)
12. The Eternal Conflict     
13. Legacy of Terror     
14. Children of the Worldstone
15: Bonus track: Last Angel

The two-disc standard edition contains 90+ minutes of music and retails for $29.95, while the limited edition adds a making-of DVD (region free), extended liner notes and some art cards for $49.95.
