"I have some ideas...", April 7, 2006
This review is from: Schifrin: Concerto for guitar; Concierto caribeo (Audio CD)
Lalo Schifrin, when presented with the action scenes & blank spaces in the Mission:Impossible dialogue said, "I have some ideas..." Here are a few more ideas, and they are worth listening to. A profile for someone who should purchase this album: If you liked listening to Andres Segovia perform not just solo but with an orchestra, or you enjoy any of the "less accessible" of Aaron Copland's works, or you listened to all the "other music" (i.e. not just the main theme) in the Mission:Impossible (TV) soundtrack, then you must listen to this album. The confluence of latin, jazz, a tiny bit of twelve-tone, and concerto form is just great. I often fall asleep during the usual concerti for piano and orchestra; this held my attention. Maybe I'm just a philistine who can't appreciate "real" classical music, and need it "John-Williams'ed-up". On a scale from "profound" to Claude Bolling, this is somewhere in the middle: definitely worthwhile, and far more interesting than just "something to play while the credits roll."
