This video shows Johnny when he conducted his famous March for Superman. That´s probably about 30 years ago. He has written quite a few brilliant marches eighter for the movies or some other occasion. Ok, the Raiders March from Indiana Jones is my absolute favourite. But this one comes right after ;-) I love you John!

Even for that morning showing, the theater was packed. When the movie ended, everybody was humming the Superman theme. Thank you, Mr Williams.

@@melissalsmith883 This appears to be one of the final times the actual score was performed. Later, a newer orchestration (in my opinion an inferior one) took over, over stressing trumpets and diminishing the persistent trombone glissandos that made the original orchestration so propulsive.

Maybe god is so merciful and forgiving that he actually goes against what the bible says and forgave christopher reeves for not commiting hurtful ctimes and being a good person. Maybe god does forgive all those souls who were actually wonderful human beings, their only sin is to not believe and god understands "how can you believe on something you cant see"..it wont be fair for real good people to suffer in hell with souls who were actually evil in life. God will probably will introduce himself to Reeves and anwer all his questions related to god existance and forgives Reeved but will have to go thru a painful purification process first.

I will never forget the moment when the opening credits ran and all of us in the theatre who had spent years listening to Superman on the radio and TV, hearing John Williams take both of those themes that we loved and paying them homage in this superb piece, spontaneously burst into applause. It was without question the most touching moment I have ever experienced watching a movie and still brings me to tears 43 years later.

My favorite motif from this theme is the "Can You Read My Mind" part, and as beautiful and as 1970s easy-listening that melody is, it's still, here in the main title, underscored by that exciting driving march rhythm: this isn't just going to be a date with Lois Lane, it's gonna be a FLYING date with Lois Lane. I was nine when this premiered, and I can tell you the opening credits had us pushed back in our seats before the story even started. I wonder what the younger generation thinks of this movie: it has a lot of heart, humor, great storytelling, and still packs a thrilling punch, for my money.

The idea that he took the basic motifs from the earlier Superman themes (Max Fleisher cartoons, TV show) and wove them into the main theme for this piece is both utterly brilliant and respectful to the people who wrote those earlier themes, as well as drawing in fans of those earlier shows. Bravo, Mr. Williams.

Richard Donner, the Director, stated in the DVD commentary that you could almost hear the word "Superman" in the score. A testament to William's genius.

I've heard a number of different renditions of this same piece being done by orchestra and this one, despite the marginal sound quality, has the most feeling and warmth in it.

This appears to be one of the final times the actual score was performed. Later, a newer orchestration (in my opinion an inferior one) took over, over stressing trumpets and diminishing the persistent trombone glissandos that made the original orchestration so propulsive. There’s a reason this particular recording recalls the motion picture sound: it’s the original orchestration!

@@rickyjones9724 The sound is from an deteriorating tape recording. It sounds fine, but it isn’t exactly high-fidelity; compare it to the OST, and you’ll hear the difference.

It doesn't get any better than this!!! Ever! IMHO, this is the best piece of music ever written!!!!! I heard it for the first time in the early 80's when the movie showed on TV and I still get goosebumps whenever I hear it. John Williams is amazing and this is the best music he has written. Heck, it's the best music anybody's written. I like Zimmer's scores, like The Rock and Driving miss Daisy, but you can't compare Zimmer to this masterpiece. He's not on the same planet. Like night and day.

As a Superman fanboy since 1977, I've often ranked THIS piece as one of the top 3 epic fanfares and marches ever written; the other two being: STAR WARS and cinematic STAR TREK(also Williams and Jerry Goldsmith). Well done and good show.
