I was born in 1972. I saw this movie with my cousin Jack at the Cinema 150 in Little Rock in 1978. It was the biggest theater around, kind of like a Prototype IMAX, with a curved screen, and big speakers. Jack’s family life wasn’t the best, and he didn’t get much in the way of attention or entertainment. Getting to go to Little Rock, eating at Casa Bonitas, and seeing Superman was a huge deal for him. I still remember looking next to me when Superman was flying, and the bom bomba bom bom, bom bom bom music was playing. Jack was grinning ear to ear, and had his hands out like he was flying too. He’s gone now, but every time I hear this music, I think of 7 year old Jack, arms in the air, flying with Christopher Reeve to save the day. And I smile.

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 theme always gets to me in such a positive way every time!

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

This was my childhood. I was obsessed with Christopher Reeve's Superman.

For myself, here is the best symphonic orchestra in the world !!! ❤

Brings a tear to my face greatest theme ever nothing comes close, Christopher Reeve RIP you will always be superman !!

Absolutely the BEST Superman Theme Ever..

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!

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.

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.

45 years later and it is still the best theme of all the super-hero movies that came afterward.

John Williams theme at its finest.

Finally, an orchestral conductor I can actually follow! Playing was superb too.

Wow! Such an amazing performance. Bravo! 👏👏👏

This is as flawless a live performance of the single most inspirational piece of music as I’ve ever heard/seen! Outstanding!!!

I am crying tears of joy and emotion as I listen to this performance! I hope this performance will give strength to all the people of Earth who are struggling with Covid19! Maybe Superman is protecting us somewhere...........

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!

Outstanding performance
