"composer" of the M:I Theme[edit]

Listen to Mahavishnu Orchestra's Dream, the song can be found on The Lost Trident Sessions album. It becomes very clear that the theme is ripped from the bassline of the song, that kicks in about two minutes into it.

Fitting, then, how the "one of the most iconic theme songs ever" was created by the one of the most iconic jazz fusion groups ever to have existed. Schifrin deserves to be sued for everything he's illegally earned.--217.43.175.47 (talk) 01:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, he travelled through time from 1966, to steal it from their 1973 album, that wasn't even released until 1999, so he could use it in time for the 1966 series. ~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.5.196.83 (talk) 02:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
An especially impressive feat, given that Mahavishnu Orchestra wasn't even active before 1971! Jeh (talk) 03:20, 19 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Name?[edit]

Does anyone know how he acquired/decided to use the first name "Lalo" instead of the name he was given at birth? Is this a nickname for "Claudio" or does it have some other signification?--Partnerfrance (talk) 18:13, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I’m not an authority, but my experience is that Lalo is just a nickname like Butch or Buddy, and it does not map back to one particular first name. That said, Lalo is a common nickname for guys named Eduardo, and is used almost exclusively for guys whose first name ends in the letter O. Ramon4 (talk) 18:36, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The real name is Boris Claudio mickname "Lalo" for Claudio in Spanish — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.189.76.186 (talk) 23:47, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Films scores[edit]

He also composed the score for 'joy-house' in 1964 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_House_%28film%29). This is not mentioned. The very beginning is somewhat reminiscent of what he would compose for 'Bullit'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.64.134.243 (talk) 08:06, 20 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Discography[edit]

Lalo Schifrin (as Lalo Schiffrin) released an E.P. on the French Vogue label (LD 236) in (I think) 1955 entitled "Rendez-Vous Dansant A Copacabana." Song titles: Moulin Rouge, Les Oignons, Fascination, Cabello Rojo, Mon Homme, Mambop, Pigalle, Serenade Mediterraneenne. This EP is currently available in the box set "Jazz On Vogue: The Perfect Collection." MichaelZ302 (talk) 15:14, 25 November 2013 (UTC)Michael Z.[reply]

Schifrin and Charles Koechlin[edit]

The article mentions: "At age 20, [Schifrin] successfully applied for a scholarship to the Paris Conservatoire. While there, he attended Olivier Messiaen's classes and formally studied with Charles Koechlin...". The article also says that Schifrin was born in 1932, thus turned 20 in 1952. However, following the link to the Wikipedia page for Charles Koechlin, it says that Koechlin died in 1950. Obviously this inconsistency needs straightening out. I note that the "facts" about the particulars of Schifrin's time in Paris are unattributed. Arpd1234 (talk) 02:44, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. What do you propose? Binksternet (talk) 03:12, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I do not have any knowledge of authoritative sources which might clear things up, nor any great experience as an editor of Wikipedia articles, unless you count correcting typos. But if I was to offer an opinion, it would be to remove the entire sentence in which Koechlin is named. There does not appear to be any referenced source in the article as to whom Schifrin studied under at the Paris Conservatoire. Arpd1234 (talk) 07:20, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Done! If something shows up supporting a sensible timeline then Koechlin can be restored. Binksternet (talk) 15:32, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Lalo Schifrin discography[edit]

Support split - Discography section is long and should be split to a new article entitled Lalo Schifrin discography. --Jax 0677 (talk) 18:53, 24 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Danube Incident?[edit]

Schifrin is said to have composed the Danube Incident, an episode of Mission Impossible, but I can find no record of any film or TV episode called Danube Incident, at IMDb or anywhere else. Can anybody elucidate?24.108.58.49 (talk) 03:53, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article does not say exactly that. "Danube Incident" is not the name of an episode of the series, but rather of a piece of music written for the series. You will find "Danube Incident" as the title of a track on the album More Mission: Impossible that was released in 1969. [1] It's also on the later Mission: Anthology, a CD that combined the material from the two earlier LPs. [2] Jeh (talk) 04:53, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
