Superman - Superman March // Danish National Symphony Orchestra (live) 

Christopher Reeve is the true Superman, and John Williams is his true composer.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!!

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.

One of John Williams greatest works.

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.

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

Toller Soundtrack von John Williams!!! 👍👍👍

I can't hear this without getting nostalgic about Christopher Reeve as the best super man ever saving the day ❤

Oh man , chills and tears in my eyes… I’m 56 and wow that just took me right back to my childhood

"Easy miss. I've got you." "You've got me? Who's got you?" Perfection.

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.

Superman. Iconic music

I'm sure Christopher Reeve was watching down and proudly smiling.😢 R.I.P Christopher You'll Always Be The Real Superman!

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.

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.

One of the greatest opening credits sequences of any of film I've ever seen. John Williams is a national treasure.😊❤

This theme has the power to make you feel hope

I am 53 and I love the Superman movies but the original is the best!

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!

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

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.

RIP Christopher Reeve. The best Superman that was and ever will be.

This is the best performance of this piece since the London Symphony did it in '78.

GUYS, THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME. SO WONDERFUL AND AWESOME ORCHESTRA. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

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!

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

Very faithful interpretation by the orchestra (exactly the right amount of pathos) and great image and audio quality - thank you very much!

The most beautiful piece of music ever composed.

😍, this orchestra can't disappoint, and their choice's of projects are spot on. Bravo, felicitări și succes din România!

Christopher Reeve, the eternal superhero Miss you.

This gave me chills. The talent of John Williams is otherworldly. RIP Christopher Reeves.

Super hero theme song nothing can beat John Williams' Superman's theme.

Very nice! They're playing my song 🎵 😅. Thanks, my Danish cousins. Makes me hungry but my favorite is cringla 🇳🇴 of my relatives, but Danish is great too! Thanks from the USA 🇺🇸. Yeah I saw the original movie 🎬. Getting old. Maybe I'm not quite superman anymore 😕 😔. I love those horns also, since that's my instrument. I actually better remember the song for the first Superman series on TV, which I watched weekly for a few years. Who remembers that? It was a great series for kids like I was then. But I submit to you all, that the real and true Superman is alive and well, and also had very humble beginning and life, when he in 3 short years turned the whole world upside down. And he is coming back again, this time in his full awesome glory, splendor, beauty and power to bring peace on earth, rule effectively and justly, and defeat all of the wicked foes, including the arch enemy of mankind, the wily and deceptive impostor, the angel of Light, the prince of the power of the air, the king of the spiritual wickedness in high places, of which we now battle, and struggle greatly. There is good news! There is salvation for whosoever will call upon the name of the Lord: Jesus Christ. Acts 2.21, the authorized and perfect King James Bible. Martin Luther taught us the way, my cousins and fellow members of the seed of Adam and of Noah who are in earth. We're all one blood. We can all be saved by the one blood of Jesus Christ, shed for our remission of sins, to make us spotless white perfection to be in the kingdom of God.

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

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.

You played it like it was intended!! Bravo!!!

It is impossible not to cry.

Tremendamente hermoso escuchar esta dulce y tan recordada melodía ‼️‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you, John Williams! This score will move me and give me goosebumps until the day i die. Superman was absokutely my hero when i was young. I had my blanket made into a cape, and i would jump off of anything to see if today, i could fly like Superman. I had dreams of saving people and helping Superman. He made me believe in being a hero and that heroes were real. Thank you, Christopher Reeves, for making me believe in heroes.

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

Absolutely the BEST Superman Theme Ever..

Perfect throughout ❤

Best live version I’ve ever heard. WOW.

Composers like Williams, Shore and others who compose the great movie scores are the 20 & 21 century composers of todays classical music.

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!

Godt for ørerne! Supergodt gået! Lød præcist som originalen.

this made me smile from ear to ear

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 !!

Comic Books fans please stand for your global anthem

John Williams should conduct this orchestra himself. This orchestra is the best at representing his music.

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 😀😀😀😀

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.

Don't often hear it performed this spot on.

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

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.

What a thrilling piece. We are blessed to have John Williams to arrange these masterpieces. The DNSO brought it to life once again.

UNBELIEVABLE...... everytime I hear this the hair on my arms stand up.... This theme tune is timeless...... PERFECT

The best superhero theme song of all time...

What a dynamo! John Williams we salute you!

i get goosebumps when i hear a great impacting score,this is surely one of them,as always perfectly performed

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."

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

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

Fantastico!!!

John Williams theme at its finest.

2:16 My favorite part of this music.

Thanks 👍👍💪 One of my ABSOLUTE favorites.. ❤️ Makes you wanna rip your shirt open and fly away at maximum speed 😍❤️

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.

all the song scream " SU PER MAN!!". This is a hymn, the best superman theme forever

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.

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.

*2024/5: Superman to the rescue!*

昔見た映画の場面が蘇ります❤４０年前の記憶が蘇ります😂🎉何も恐くなかったあの頃に戻りたいですね😂🎉

Outstanding performance the sound engineering and the performance are so complete

I absolutely love this. John Williams best score.

One of my all time favourites, only beaten by the Imperial March and that was as epic a version as I have ever heard, as good as those conducted by John Williams himself. Loved it

Tak for at spille en fremragende gengivelse af et musikalsk filmmesterværk. Lyden giver min sjæl lyst til at flyve!

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

How did they know that I wanted to listen to this right this minute?

The Super Ladies and Super Men in your Super Orchestra did a Super job on this Super Piece! I loved it....Will Ortiz

This brought tears to my eyes on how magnificent this is. Bravo!

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

Un saludo muy cordial, un tema Magistralmente hermoso gracias por compartir, un deleite a los oídos.👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🇲🇽♥️

Look up at the stage! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's the best Symphony Orchestra in World!!! 🦸

Kudos to the sound engineer who put a mic near the double bass

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

The human spirit truly is magnificent when we achieve things in unison

Missing Christopher Reeve.

The DNSO performance here is spectacular. This is utter perfection. Words fail to express adequately what an outstanding job you have done. Very, VERY well done !

Words cannot describe John Williams.

Excelente música instrumental!! Das galáxias!!! E liberdade contra o mau!!

"You'll Believe A Man Can Fly."

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful ❤❤❤

I've heard so many versions of this played live over the years This has to be the BEST version I've ever seen live WOW

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.

This theme always gets to me, even now as I listened to this I am overcome with emotion and my eyes watered up. Amazing.

The best musical march for any comic book superhero. Ever.
