As a huge film score buff, I won't spend too much time on the score itself, as it's pretty well established that this score is one of the best in the modern era of film scoring, and certainly one of John Williams's best. The march and fanfare, along with the love theme, are three of the most recognizable and finest motifs in film score history. The original score recording featured Williams conducting the London Symphony Orchestra (peformances don't get much better!).

John Williams' excellent score for "Superman" was a landmark in film music. With the help of soundtracks such as "Jaws", "Star Wars", and "E.T.", Williams is known as the composer who brought orchestral music back into style. During the 70's, music was taking a path directly away from the orchestral style of music, and I would say if it weren't for John Williams, orchestral film music would no longer exist.

I thoroughly enjoyed this 2-CD set. The music needs no introduction anywhere in the world. The audio quality of this 1998 recording surpasses what could be captured in 1978 when the original recording was made. The liner notes are a pleasure to read.
I'd also like to correct an error made by a previous reviewer: the total running length of this set is 82 minutes 10 seconds, which *cannot* be accomodated on a single CD. The producers originally planned a single CD release, but when it ... Read More

I know that this CDs is a Rerelease of John Williams Score to Superman, but as to many who have reviewed this It does not include the Original Soundtack Pieces, most due to the Fact that its not released by Warner Bothers themselves. Thats why "Can You Read My Mind" is not included in this collectiion. This Collection is just the Score from the Film in its original Form and not a Performance Piece like the Original Album was. I love this Album! I'm Glad that someone finally released the Orginal Score ... Read More
