I'm 48. I've seen this movie countless times. Listening to this right now, all of a sudden, I have goosebumps, and I'm 5 again.
I feel like I'm 6 years old again.
I’m 13 again … and you both have excellent taste!😊👍
@@Leadeshipcoach There's a video with John Williams conducting the Berliner Philharmonika orchestra the "Superman" theme. And someone commented with "ALL COMIC BOOK FANS? PLEASE RISE FOR OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM!!!"
@@crazycappy01 .. I have heard that video and read that comment 😊👍
I want to pretend im flying round the room again!!!
For 60+ years, John Williams literally created the cultural soundtrack for two entire generations of human society. Hands-down the greatest cinematic composer of all time.
Mr. Williams deserves such a title, but Morricone existed.
100% Truth.
I'd say John Williams and Danny Elfman are right up there for me.
Not to cast shade, because you're right, but mad respect to his mentor, Miklos Rozsa.
Christopher Reeve is the true Superman, and John Williams is his true composer.
Do Mara Jade’s theme next.
Yes my friend
Yes, that's right !! Exactly. indeed😭✨
Unfortunately, many people don't get it.
John Williams is Superman.
True and eternal Superman
It really does NOT matter how many new superman movies and tv series or cartoons, each with new songs and scores, this is Superman's one and only theme!!
It will always be one the greatest interpretation of Superman
It does matter. Christopher Reeve is superman and this music by John William is THE superman soundtrack. Cavil etc are not.
Oh man , chills and tears in my eyes… I’m 56 and wow that just took me right back to my childhood
me too man. me. too. I don't ever want to leave
"Easy miss. I've got you."
"You've got me? Who's got you?"
Perfection.
ABSOLUTELY
❤
Who are you?
A friend
At a time Hollywood didn't yet hate men.
@@mikemickypeterdavy… and it was so cool the way he said it… and then just flew into the air… and away😊
One of John Williams greatest works.
He should have gotten more than 5 Oscars in his long and distinguished film career.
This wonderful score is a masterpiece! I literally stand that bit taller when i hear it. Thank you Christopher Reeve for being the best Superhero ever a young boy during the 80s i could have wished for.
I hear this and I want to go lift a car.
Perhaps its the nostalgia. Perhaps its the majesty. Perhaps its the wonder. Perhaps a whole lot of things, but this music makes me tear up and forces me to smile every time I hear it. Thank you John Williams.
It brings optimism and, well, hope. And you cannot not smile listening to this score.
Everything you said is exactly to the point!
This is the first orchestra presentation i have heard that is equal to the sound track. Am i surprised? No. I expect nothing but excellence from this orchestra.
my sentiments exactly
I'm agree 🤗 I have listened the version of the Berliner Philarmoniker and it sounds like the original soundtrack too.
It's definitely one of the better versions of this timeless score! Timpani percussions could have been a bit more prominent especially in the second half of it imo (listen to 3:23 and onward, it's barely there). At 4:04 someone hits a bad note :). Otherwise superb, just spot on!
Absolute perfection
@@tolli78 I don't disagree but remember this is live, not a recording environment where there is a lot more control of balance. Also for me the snare drum here is just way too prominent
I can't hear this without getting nostalgic about Christopher Reeve as the best super man ever saving the day ❤
This tune is so GREAT !!! As a kid always loved SUPERMAN and this redition sounds just like the sound track.
This used to make me jump off my couch with a towel around my neck as a little kid. 😅 I wanted to fly so bad 😂😊
@@ReedHarrison Me too !!! LOL.Nothing better than childhood,reading Superman comicbooks,playing with the rest of the kids in your neighborhood,eating candy,ice-cream,etc,etc,..
Damn straight, Christopher Reeve will always be the best Superman!
@@rovers10001 agreed, There's only one superman!
I'm sure Christopher Reeve was watching down and proudly smiling.😢 R.I.P Christopher You'll Always Be The Real Superman!
SuperHomao(da porra).
One of the greatest opening credits sequences of any of film I've ever seen. John Williams is a national treasure.😊❤
International treasure, I think.
All without After Effects in those days (the titles)!
RIP Christopher Reeve. The best Superman that was and ever will be.
ESTOY DE ACUERDO CON SU COMENTARIO 👌
RECUERDO QUE TENÍA 14 AÑOS CUANDO MÍ PADRE ME LLEVÓ AL CINE PARA VER SUPERMAN...
ME GUSTO MUCHO LA PELÍCULA, SALUDOS DESDE EL PERÚ 🇵🇪
He’s still Superman where he’s at now.. 100%
@@billnott5811 For sure.
Amen!
I still remember watching Superman in 1978, and seeing the amazing credit scene with the flying words. I got chills just like when I watched Star Wars! Great performance, it’s perfect.
I’m always taken back to the scene where Superman makes a complete fool out of General Zod and his goons.
That’s true.
Eu também assisti em 1978. Olhos marejados aqui.
Always wondered why I get emotional whenever I hear this, I think I worked it out now. Its because its the sound of hope in this messed up world. RIP Christopher Reeve, the one and only Superman

When the film hit the big screen in 1978 , we saw Christopher Reeve open his shirt to reveal the ''S'' and we all knew he was Superman!

Core childhood memory.
He made me believe a man can fly.
@@RonMotta1972 same here
I am 53 and I love the Superman movies but the original is the best!
To all those that have never seen a Symphony live. Your missing out on one of the most amazing things we as humans can muster. GO! Its AWESOME LIVE, not like this is on the Tube. You feel it. It hits you in your soul. If you have been to one you know what I am talking about. Support your local Symphony. Its well worth the price I can assure you all.
If only they made a European tour. Local orchestra's rarely chose to perform modern songs, they usually stick to classical music.
100% correct.
worked security for a Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra performance once (i was at stage left closer than the front row) the BSO played this in the second act, it was a moving experience.
@@Libertatea673Unless you're fortunate enough to go to a Boston Pops concert.
One came to my school and played this & the whole thing went through me. I felt I could literally fly.
Composers like Williams, Shore and others who compose the great movie scores are the 20 & 21 century composers of todays classical music.
I can just picture Clark running forward while also ripping his shirt to reveal the iconic "S". He then takes off to the skies as Superman!
Super hero theme song nothing can beat John Williams' Superman's theme.
AGREED.
Yes. it is THE superhero theme song
Avengers Theme is very strong runner-up.
Don't forget Hans Zimmer's The Dark Knight trilogy
@@Satai80 Good one indeed, but the runner-up is without any doubt Danny Elfman's Batman Theme.
This theme has the power to make you feel hope
Totally agreed 😁🦸🦸🦸🦸
Feel hope indeed.I have on a red bath towel,red socks and am now ready to fight for-TRUTH_JUSTICE- and the american way !!!! LOL.
And make you want to soar into the sky 🦸
It is impossible not to cry.
This is the best performance of this piece since the London Symphony did it in '78.
Have you ever been to John Williams nights at the Boston Pops?
@@gdelan1 I'm afraid not. I've never lived anywhere near Boston.
💯💯💯👌
I was just gonna say 'they did pretty good. it wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good!'
Look up at the stage! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the best Symphony Orchestra in World!!! 🦸
Well the London Symphony Orchestra did the original version of this theme, conducted by John Williams himself, so that tops this.
45 years later and it is still the best theme of all the super-hero movies that came afterward.
This is the type of music that modern-day superhero movies are missing don't know if anybody would agree with me or not but truly good movies need to have proper music and the original OG Superman always did this for me
True
I agree and that's why I love the throwback sound from the First Avenger Captain America movie. Not as iconic as this great piece by John Williams though.
Modern movies are missing more than just music. Disney and most Hollywood has set itself directly against human biology. If you're a straight man, they hate you. If you're a straight woman, they disdain you. However, The Wall has no pity and the gods of the copybook headings don't forget. The future is demographics.
Greatness will return, even better than before.
I love music. Though there are many great scores today - I do agree the one feeling I think is rare is that TRIUMPHANT MARCH we hear in this score
This gave me chills. The talent of John Williams is otherworldly. RIP Christopher Reeves.
I bet every musician in this orchestra has a memory of when they first saw Superman in the theater because they played this with so much love it's as much THE perfect orchestrated piece I've ever heard.
Christopher Reeve, the eternal superhero
Miss you.
Strong powerful , invincible . Superman os a hero worth looking up too . To find him we need only , Look up in the sky
GUYS, THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME. SO WONDERFUL AND AWESOME ORCHESTRA. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
The best live performance of this composition I have ever hear. Congratulations to the conductor, the musicians, and the recording engineers. You’ve all channeled the genius of John Williams.
I hear this piece, I close my eyes and picture Christopher Reeve flying in orbit above the earth and smiling at us as he banks and flies away.
The most beautiful piece of music ever composed.
Brings a tear to my face greatest theme ever nothing comes close, Christopher Reeve RIP you will always be superman !!
This was my childhood. I was obsessed with Christopher Reeve's Superman.
Superman unanimously is the hero who stands for if nothing else hope. He is pure and simple a hero. The man of steel, unable to be beaten by the forces of evil, utter triumph and persistence over opposition. When I think of Superman, I don’t think of truth, justice and the American way. I think of hope, strength and triumph in the face of opposition. Superman is the hero we need. Never the one some may want, but he stands for what we need: hope. This theme encapsulates it so perfectly
OH MAN !! Honestly...the only way this could've been better - is if Superman himself flew in and lightly touched down on stage. That was great ! Thanks !!
Still to this day when I hear this music, it takes me back to 5 or 6 years old. Back when Superman was everyone's hero. My heart swells
Don't often hear it performed this spot on.
59, but I'm 15 again listening to this masterpiece. This may be the most faithful "cover" of Williams' work I've ever heard. Every nuance - perfect. Thank you -
Felt like I really see Superman flying above my home again, majestic and kind.
When even the music shouts 'Su-per Man!', you know it's something special. In my opinion, as good as the rest of Mr. Williams' scores might have been, this one is the most triumphant. I still can remember 1st time seeing Superman while living in Germany (Zweibrücken AFB) and hearing that score at the intro...what a magical memory!
This orchestra is hugely underrated. I am continuously impressed.
Also 2:35 good to see that musicians still smirk as they get to this part and nod to each other, "yep, Strauss."
Underrated.. the DNSO is considered among the very best in the world..
This orchestra murdered this piece,someone better call the cops to arrest their music sheets for evidence.
No one underrates this orchestra. Why would you even say that?
You are incorrect. @@powerbadpowerbad
@@guydaley Because I've never heard of them. I gave them a try and was very well impressed. I know them now.
This is the best version I’ve ever heard
This is now my favourite rendition of what I have deemed "The Christopher Reeve Theme" John Williams would be very proud!!
ALL THIS IS LACKING IS BLUE FLYING CREDITS!!!
Christopher reeves, his eye glass, the blue,red uniform and the iconic superman Logo..never forget that era how we enjoy watching it..❤
Absolutely the BEST Superman Theme Ever..
Sounds amazingly like the OST.. Wow. The 80s kid in me can't help feeling nostalgic hearing this. It's hard to separate Christopher Reeve's Superman from this one beautiful performance. Imagine being there live and watching this. Bravo!
all the song scream " SU PER MAN!!". This is a hymn, the best superman theme forever
The "SU PER MAN!!" was a bet of Richard Donner to John Williams
Best superman theme of all time
Even now as an adult this tune gives me goosebumps. There might be many Superman movies..... but there is only one Superman, and we all know who that is. 😊
What a thrilling piece. We are blessed to have John Williams to arrange these masterpieces. The DNSO brought it to life once again.
Certainement la plus jolie musique de film de super héro de tous les temps, fantastique !!!
The best superhero theme song of all time...
This will forever live in my childhood memories. When I first saw Superman in the theater in the 70s, I was awe struck. Christopher Reeve will always be Superman to me.
I was 7 when I watched Superman in 1977. I always love this movie from my childhood!
John Williams should conduct this orchestra himself.
This orchestra is the best at representing his music.
Just another of the many examples of the genius of John Williams. Gives me the chills.
I've listened to this piece a hundred times, but watching it adds so much context to it. To see who is playing and which instruments are working hardest (from snare drum to trombone to xylophone) makes it all the more impressive. John Williams is a genius.
Saw the premiere in my hometown when they brought it to Texas. The music has always been the best part of the thing for me.
This tune gives me an electric tickle in my spin and goose-bumps every time I hear it.
From the first time I heard it on-screen as a kid watching "Superman" in 1978, to whenever I feel nostalgic and watch it at home.
The best superhero theme ever written.
My God...I was 9 years old when my dad took me to the cinema to watch this masterpiece. I fell in love with the soundtrack, I never could take this EPIC melody out of my head! Thank you for the fond memories. Mr. Williams, you are the soundtrack of my childhood and early teen years. Thank you so much.
The opening notes always make me sit up straight and hold my chin up. This score fills me with hope and makes me feel everything will be alright.
And I thought that the 1950's series theme was Great! John Williams took it to a whole new level!
Words cannot describe John Williams.
No,they can not.
Steven Spielberg said it best, when John Williams was asked to compose the music for Schindler's list, John Williams didn't feel worthy and said there were better composers for the film. And then Steven said: Yes, but they are all dead.
That literally brought tears of joy to my eyes. Scores like this are sorely missed in today's films. As soon as you hear this beautifully uplifting theme, you know exactly what movie is comes from and it is absolutely memorable.
Super Man out standing score of music RIP Chris Reeve the best actor to play the role also John Williams great moving sounds classic movie will stand the test of time 😀😀😀😀
John Williams theme at its finest.
An excellent execution! Congratulations Danish Orchestra! 🇩🇰
The best superhero theme ever.
Wow! Such an amazing performance. Bravo! 👏👏👏
40 years old... and still... this makes me cry
Incredible performance! Who knew the DNSO was able to leap tall arrangements with a single bound? Ludwig Wiki did! Bravo! Big props to the staging, lighting and sound engineering too! They're a pretty fly group.
Faster than a speeding cut time
Nice one! 😊
For myself, here is the best symphonic orchestra in the world !!! ❤
Best live version I’ve ever heard. WOW.
Totally agree, it almost sounds exactly like the original. With just the right amount of balance, very impressive indeed.
Absolutely fantastic piece. So true to the original John Williams theme.. Exceptionally well done !!! I love it !!
This theme always gets to me in such a positive way every time!
Christopher Reeve for ever and ever. John Williams is an unfinished talented Maestro. God bless you and take care of Chris' soul.
If i were to ever hear, what i consider THE definitive Superman March by John Williams, the Maestro himself....i dont know what i would do with myself...either let out a cathartic roar of approval or burst into a blubbering mess of emotion.
A very nostalgic soundtrack for me.
Very faithful interpretation by the orchestra (exactly the right amount of pathos) and great image and audio quality - thank you very much!
This theme is basically a mix of the indiana jones and star wars main themes, but it works to perfection.
one of the best movie scores ever done well!
So powerful.
For me, this is perhaps one of John Williams' best works: it's more complex and constructed in a much more sophisticated fashion than both his Jaws and Star Wars themes that he produced a year or two before this theme. Excellent performance, as ever, from DANSO. Bravo!
Finally, an orchestral conductor I can actually follow! Playing was superb too.
A John Williams masterpiece. The music that told us... A man can fly!
I fell in love with this score the first time I ever heard it in the theater in 1978. It is still my favorite movie theme of all time. I still get chills when I hear it. Bravissimo!
this made me smile from ear to ear
Goosebumps!!!! What kind of genius do you need to be to compose such a BRILLIANT PEICE of music like this?!?
The Superman March really makes you feel like you can do anything Superman can! It is more powerful than a locomotive!
2:16 My favorite part of this music.
So memorable and unforgettable sound , music and movie...Christopher Reeve,can you read my mind?😊..I'm getting nostalgic upon watching this of my childhood watching the movie in cinema with my grandfather and sister.....Wonderful and amazing Orchestra..Bravo...
A wonderful version of the SUPERMAN served by our neighbors in the southwest. Tack Köpenhamn, ni är fantastiska 👍👍❤
Wow! Just listening sends me chills… This soundtrack is more inspiring to me than ever before.. Truth! Justice! And The American Way!!
Outstanding performance! Love the John Williams' Superman theme! One of my all-time favorite movies!
The Super Ladies and Super Men in your Super Orchestra did a Super job on this Super Piece! I loved it....Will Ortiz
Wow. An actual live performance that equals that of the soundtrack recording. You brought tears to my eyes. Fantastic!
