I want it on Vinyl LP record!

[@whatdoievencallthischannel4670]

The Superman March is almost 50 years old, and John Williams somehow makesnit seem new and exciting to hear everytime. He's the SUPERMAN of FILM MUSIC!

[@marisolacenso7010]

Así.. Es ❤ maravilloso👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@SnowWorries]

I’m 42 years old and this just made me cry like a baby: Memories of being a small boy with innocence, wonder and hope. Memories of watching a man I believed could fly. Memories of my late dad introducing me to a love of film. Christopher Reeves will always be Superman. But my Dad will always be a super man.

[@hehhehhuhhuh7014]

@SnowWorries: I feel the same!! John Williams is THE musical genius of the century! Actually, the movie actor who played Superman was Christopher REEVE. The actor who played Superman in the old TV series was George REEVES.

[@mikejackson19828]

92 years old and still going strong!

[@Roughneck26]

He is Superman 🦸‍♀

[@dayuum5256]

He a strong soul

[@swimming-champ1992]

@@Roughneck26 Yeah, a Super Man of Music 🎶

[@KM-xf1ft]

Bless you Mr Williams, that was wonderful! Thank you for all the beautiful music.

[@CoryChu]

92 years old conducting an orchestra without his score but with such precision, that just blow me off~

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Yeah it’s amazing and still giving specific cues to each section too 👏👏 He probably knows all the pieces inside and out at this point for him to be able to do that ~~

[@chuckmcormick8764]

Never fails to invoke in me THAT feeling of after watching Superman on the big screen that a man can really fly. There will probably never be another John Williams.

[@ezequielfranciscomollon7871]

Minuto 3.36 arranca ese sentimiento

[@milkysatou]

あのジョン・ウィリアムズさんが日本に来てくれて素晴らしい音楽を響かせてくれたことは本当に夢のようで、生涯忘れられない幸せな時間でした。 小澤征爾さんとの絆もずっと忘れません。

[@alpi57]

A national treasure who has enriched our lives for decades. Would trade 20 million “influencers” for one Williams.

[@swimming-champ1992]

Yeah I can see it now, that someday he’ll have an immersive experience exhibit or an exhibit in the Smithsonian; or even both. This way his legacy can inspire future generations.

[@theritzmusic]

We are blessed to live in the Williams era

[@Madman007]

There are two legends accociated with this music. John Williams and the one and only Superman, Christopher Reeves!

[@hehhehhuhhuh7014]

@Madman007: ABSOLUTELY!!! Actually, the movie actor who played Superman was Christopher REEVE. The man who played Superman in the old TV series was George REEVES.

[@laurenceperaire418]

Congratulations for you, Marstro , and Saito Kinen, orchestra of Seiji Ozawa Who passed away two weeks ago .. Forever a great composer . Wishe you health and music for many years .❤

[@もこもこ-d8m]

実際にこの演奏会に参加しましたが、前半のプログラムが終わりいよいよジョンが登場となった会場の盛り上がり、そして彼が指揮台に立ちこの曲が始まる際の空気感たるや今でも忘れません。 ジョンの登場で沸き立った会場が一瞬で彼の紡ぎ出す音を聴こうと静まり返ったのを覚えています。

[@evenflow5491]

I still believe a man can fly

[@JohnRedshaw]

Brilliantly composed music characterizes exactly what we feel deeply in our hearts and didn't know was there. Superman is brought out of our hearts by this glorious music.

[@thegood9]

An American treasure. Enjoy these twilight years. We are so lucky he is living in OUR generation, with THIS set of filmmakers in this time. A perfect combination.

[@aob505]

John Williams in his 90s and makes it look effortless, what a legend man.

[@marisolacenso7010]

Es una leyenda Viviente ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏♥️

[@マルセルスワン]

ベルリン、ウィーンと続き遂に東京！発売楽しみにしてます！

[@telephilia]

John Williams a great friend and admirer of the late Seiji Ozawa, whose orchestra (other than Boston) this was.

[@robertcalva3773]

The best Superman theme for the best Superman: Christopher Reeve! Great performance!!

[@thegood9]

One of the most uplifting, powerful themes ever written for the screen. Just an amazing piece. The "throne room" end title sequence from Star Wars is a contender as well, however. A great set of performances!

[@papagen00]

The greatest living composer

[@lissieholmes4122]

The expression of pride and hapiness in the musicians

[@Otyara]

生で聞けた人、羨ましい。また来て欲しい。

[@noRthstaR1]

I am a big fan of the Music of the Maestro John Williams. Simply the Best!

[@nskreviews923]

The old wizard is still Rocking ! ❤

[@swimming-champ1992]

Everytime I listen to this song, I imagine John Williams as a musical superhero. With a baton in his hand, his movements are as graceful as a swan but faster than a hawk. His music is more powerful than any lecture from the wisest leader. And under a spotlight upon the stage, he shines brighter than brightest star in the sky. He’s the superhero who I like to call: Super Maestro! 🦸‍♂️🎵🎶

[@johnnylightning203]

No words can describe this! The GREATEST movie theme ever composed! You honestly believe in SUPERMAN.

[@deutschegrammophon]

Thank you :)

[@yuenkentsang9446]

Exactly

[@MrYoumitube]

One of the most beautiful and recognized pieces ever created.

[@swimming-champ1992]

I gotta say that when it comes to great music, John Williams is a genius!

[@sailingsam3815]

This piece of music thrilled me for days and weeks when I first heard it in the movie theater...😅😊😂

[@eltiogottlieb.4911]

A mí también y yo creo que a todos los que la escucharon por primera vez así,en el cine. Yo tenía cinco años y salí de la sala de cine con esa música en mi cabeza.

[@saphoo]

ジョンウィリアムズさんの指揮で曲が始まり、前奏の間、まだ吹いていない奏者の方々の嬉しそうなにこやかな表情が映し出されて、なぜだかそれだけでも感動しました！素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございました！

[@SupermanalwaysFan-nw6pr]

I never get tired of the Superman march by John Williams! Makes me wanna fly in the sky!✊✊✊✊✊

[@terryrulestheworld2]

You'll believe a man can CRY.

[@mikemickypeterdavy]

It's hard not to when I hear this 🙂

[@Brian6587]

92 years old and still conducting like it's nothing. What a legend! Incredible orchestra!

[@renecharlescombes5849]

Après tant d années...toujours des frissons!!!

[@Mck179]

La meilleure musique dans film Superman ! Merci John Williams !

[@cokicoki2049]

the Masterpiece of John Williams

[@ryanandtheworld]

This is my chilhood, my first movie ever seen in a cinema was Superman 3 1983. God that time I was the happiest kid alive!

[@fasteddie9867]

OMG that film was horrible

[@maxpowr90]

I love how he didn't even open the sheet music. Conducting from pure memory at 92.

[@tctyt]

Something that Karajan does all the time aswell!

[@Richard-b5r9v]

Ozawa must be smiling from Heaven at John Williams

[@benjaminniemczyk]

The spirit is superb! You can tell the players love being in this ensemble. I like how the scores are on the stand, unopened.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

When you’re the one who composed this masterpiece and knows how you want it played , you don’t need the score!! 👏👏 that’s how legendary John Williams is ~~

[@ジェイムスB-k4t]

Bravo to John Williams and the Saito Kinen Orchestra! Thank you for the wonderful performance!

[@RMVDETAILING]

I feel like flying just by listening to this magnificent masterpiece!❤❤❤

[@dmntuba]

You are simply the best! I love all the great masters, and you are definitely one of them...the real Superman 👍 Thank you for writing the soundtrack to our lives ❤

[@karlie7]

I can't wait to watch John Williams' concert in July!! He is such a legend

[@abhisekbhattacharyya2878]

May God always bless you John Williams Sir. You're the legend.😊😊❤❤🎉🎉😮😮 Wonderful masterpiece composed by you Sir. Sir May you live long may you compose long. May Lord always bless you Sir😊😊😊❤❤❤❤.

[@agapitomemelas8181]

More perfection is impossible. The Superman march is absolutely beauty and extraordinary like Superman.

[@adude394]

Only my opinion, of course, but I really think this ranks up there with the greatest opening titles ever composed.

[@Roughneck26]

Is it a Bird, is it a plane No. It's John Williams and his spectacular Genius of a mind. Superman. 🦸‍♀

[@markyamaguchi9571]

Simply amazing

[@bigsinger1981]

Honestly being me to tears listening to this. Such a big sentimental person. Take me back to being 5 or 6 in granny’s house loving the heck right out of Superman movies.

[@antmanmc1437]

Genio compositor, magistral, hermoso e inolvidable tema de Superman.

[@dragonroad2337]

お客さんらのこれ大好きな曲といわんばかりの笑顔。 これぞ世界の唯一無二の作曲家　ジョンウイリアムズ！！ 最高で素敵すぎる🤩😍🥰

[@jasonfarr9252]

The first movie I ever saw in the theater, I was 4! I can remember being mesmerized by the opening credits and this incredible score!

[@yuenkentsang9446]

Forget cavill and the fancy unnecessary pointless cgi.

[@terencem8795]

Just terrific!

[@れお-u6u]

ジョンウィリアムズ✖️サイトウキネン in 東京 が実現したのが改めてスゴい！！

[@rlaracue]

Goosebumps every time. Every time. Thank you John Williams. Ready for more Superman films in 2025. We need them...

[@BButcher-hg4nr]

Vienna Philaharmonica makes anyone else look "just good" And these guys killed it. I think being on that conductors stand has been keeping him alive. You can tell it's his whole life. Love it

[@HellenVanPattersonPatton80]

John Williams is a genius and an American treasure. From the theme songs of the Lost in Space tv series (!...who knew?) to Jaws to Superman to...so many amazing contributions to American culture. Should be a permanent spot in the Smithsonian celebrating his works!

[@vantuifilho7899]

What an amazing masterpiece!!

[@MrRaypapa]

Dear Mr Williams! I wish you many more years of enjoyment and activity, because that is a great happiness for us too!

[@johnw2799]

Long live John Williams!

[@lookwaticando909]

JOHN WILLIAMS WILL PERFORM IN HEAVEN ONE DAY NOT SOON THO :)

[@fatusland]

The most beautiful score ever! It’s amazing how can I see superman flying by listening to this masterpiece! Long life to the Maestro

[@deutschegrammophon]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@maryanngdula8915]

I love how he grasps his hands before starting, as if in prayer .

[@lipsonsinaus]

An absolute musical genius!

[@gafire25]

The music was half of the movie! The talent, and work these people do to make the scenes that much better! Mr. Williams made movies come alive with his music and countless others! This is the heart and soul of the movie!! The older I get I am coming to understand the music that brings the movie and the scene and characters!

[@edimarfi78]

Masterpiece! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@brenoberniz2151]

Fantástico!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@user-tanpatsuoyaji]

僕が国立音楽大学二年の時、オトマール・スィトナーの指揮でN響と共演しました🎶合唱出だしの「よみがえる～」はpppppぐらいで歌うようにという指揮者からの指示を思い出します🙋

[@3xhollow]

This old madman is living proof that music is humanity's greatest invention.

[@Lolipopl826]

Go john Williams!!!!

[@korean.neri927]

Sonríe feliz Mr. Williams. Qué buena interpretación.

[@teto85]

THE Superhero. I get chills every time I hear this. I am transported back to 5th grade in a darkened theatre and just.....

[@gilrocha7278]

Grande John Williams!❤

[@kennyburnsfan]

Wow! Brought a tear to my eye.

[@stevescholl5479]

If "virtuous hero rises up against overwhelming odds, risking personal cost to protect people and fight for good just because it is good" had a score, this. Fantastic musical summary of the Superman character.

[@TownshipRadio19]

I love all the music this man has created but the Superman March is on another level

[@vaiosan775]

5 (FIVE) times I saw my first Superman film in 1978 in cinema theaters. I could not see the previous films because simply I was not born. Ι was so excited ! 🥰😊

[@NoelDelaCruz0710]

Superb!

[@deutschegrammophon]

Thank you! 😊

[@brucekuehn4031]

March fans have enjoyed the compositions of John Williams for many years. I know I will miss a couple, but how about this list - Midway March, March from “1941”, Raiders March, Superman played here, and of course, crowd favorite, The Imperial March. If you are in need of more inspiration, look up the fanfares and themes that Williams wrote for the Olympics!

[@jandreid2023]

Composers of Williams' generation were the masters of movie marches. Sadly, it's no loner en vogue today to compose marches for films. The last good march that I've heard was the Captain America march by Alan Silvestri.

[@EthanAnania]

Imagine if John Murphy does this version of John Williams’ Superman March in James Gunn’s Superman…. That would give everyone goosebumps

[@filmscorefreak]

I like how they show his stand and the unopened score - doesn't need it obviously. But astounding at 92! Treasure.

[@Trump145]

Beautiful😊❤

[@maristeladesouzaborges223]

Simplesmente maravilhoso

[@miguelmejia.6898]

Grandioso 👏👏👌
