SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:25 Min.

For the 2013 instrumental cover album, Superheroes!, John Morris Russell and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra revisit composer-conductor John Williams’ opening theme to the 1978 Superman film starring Christopher Reeve.

REVIEW:

Talk of disappointing irony … the Cincinnati Pops normally perform spot-on covers of familiar sci-fi/fantasy themes (i.e. Star Trek). Even their rendition of 1984’s Supergirl sounds virtually indistinguishable from the original. Yet, their weak take on John Williams’ immortal Superman theme only little more than a generic cover. Though competently performed, this taken on Superman’s best-known theme isn’t an impressive display by the Cincinnati Pops.
