There's A Whole Lalo Schifirin Goin' On..., January 20, 2005
This review is from: Romancing the Film (Audio CD)
...as one of his infamous 60's albums boasted.
Schifrin is best known as the guy who put the theme to the Mission Impossible TV show (hence the highly identifiable bars' usage in the movie updates) in the vaults of pop culture's most memorable music. Following those years he's done pop/jazz albums as well as themes and orchestration for many Hollywood productions and classical high brow stuff with many well known orchestras. Here he is joined by the Rochester Pops as he recreates some of the filmdom's greatest tunes. Tunes like Over the Rainbow from the Wizard of Oz, Moon River from Breakfast at Tiffanys, the great Love Theme from The Godfather. The highlight of the production is the Space Melody which includes the music (Sprach Zarathusthra) from 2001: A Space Oddyssey and John Williams' tunes from Star Wars. Instantly recognisable and very enjoyable from track to track, movie lovers will really enjoy the music on this production...
