Description:

Lalo Schifrin is a composer, arranger, jazz pianist and conductor from Argentina. He studied classical music at an Argentine university and studied in Paris for a time. He also studied under Messiaen and Keclan, where he honed his compositional techniques. He was active as a jazz and tango arranger, but it was his Hollywood productions such as "Operation Spy" and "Burning Dragon" that brought his name to the forefront. The theme song for "Operation Spy" was also used in the film version of "Mission Impossible," and once you hear it, it leaves a strong and unforgettable impression on your mind. Of course, it is also included at the beginning of this album. It has a different atmosphere when heard on the piano. Of course, there are plenty of tango and jazz pieces, which were his forte. The world premiere recording, "10 Variations on a Creative Theme," is one of his latest original works in 2017, and even now, at over 80 years of age, he shows no sign of his creative decline.
