John Williams again asserts his mastery of blockbuster scores with the soundtrack to Richard Donner's 1978 hit, Superman: The Movie. Leading the London Symphony Orchestra, he showcases his command of carefully balanced dynamics. Tracks range from the mighty to the modest, with the mammoth brass, timpani and strings of the "Main Title" theme drawing sharp contrast to the delicate legato chime of motifs like "Love Theme from Superman". It all ties together beautifully.
