Dragon's Domain Records presents THE LALO SCHIFRIN COLLECTION: VOLUME 2, featuring music composed by the legendary Lalo Schifrin (MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, BULLITT, DIRTY HARRY, ENTER THE DRAGON) for two films from his extensive filmography.
Released in 1979, ESCAPE TO ATHENA is a World War II adventure film directed by George P. Cosmatos (THE CASSANDRA CROSSING, RAMBO II, TOMBSTONE), written by Edward Anhalt and Richard S. Lochte, starring Roger Moore, Telly Savalas, David Niven, Claudia Cardinale, Elliott Gould, Stephanie Powers, Sonny Bono, and Richard Roundtree. Beautifully photographed on the large Greek island of Rhodes, ESCAPE FROM ATHENA takes place during the later years of World War II, when the island was occupied by the German army.
A group of Allied prisoners of war are forced to labor on archaeological excavations off the Aegean Sea that the occupying forces plan to transport ancient treasures back to Germany. The prisoners discover that the nearby monastery on top of Mount Athena may contain even greater treasures allegedly hidden by the monks. At the same time, Greek resistance fighters on the island are preparing their own operation to strike at the German garrison.As the prisoners' treasure plot intersects with the resistance's sabotage mission, the narrative builds toward a chaotic but entertaining climax involving deception, massive explosions, and a dramatic battle by the sea.
A notable aspect of ESCAPE TO ATHENA is its musical score, which blends bold orchestration and Mediterranean color. For ESCAPE TO ATHENA, Schifrin created music that balances suspense and playfulness,reflecting the film's mixture of wartime danger and comic adventure. The score incorporates lively percussion, brass flourishes, and melodic passages that evoke the Greek island setting.
Released in 1984, TANK was directed by Marvin J. Chomsky, written by Dan Gordon, starring James Garner, Shirley Jones, C. Thomas Howell, Mark Herrier, Sandy Ward, Jenilee Harrison, James Cromwell, Dorian Harewood, John Hancock, Guy Boyd and G.D. Spradlin. TANK follows U.S. Army Sergeant Major Zack Carey (Garner), a career soldier transferred to a military base nearby a small town in Georgia. Carey is a disciplined and respected non-commissioned officer who takes pride in both his service and his family life, though he has promised his long-suffering wife (Shirley Jones) that this will be the last tour before he retires and buys a boat. Carey's troubles begin when he goes to the town bar and stands up for a prostitute being beaten by a Deputy Sheriff. Unbeknownst to him, both the bar and girl are under the control of the town's corrupt sheriff who runs the town like a personal kingdom.
Carey attempts to resolve the matter through official channels but he quickly discovers that the sheriff's influence extends throughout the local justice system. In retaliation, the sheriff frames Zack's son Billy (Howell) on false charges and has him imprisoned under the harsh conditions of his brutal work camp. Carey decides to take matters into his own hands. Using his personal restored World War II Sherman tank, he launches a daring rescue mission. Carey drives the tank across rural Georgia, as he evades military police and local law enforcement to rescue Billy and flee out of the sheriff's jurisdiction, creating a dramatic chase that mixes suspense with moments of dark humor.
For TANK, Lalo Schifrin created music that underscores both the tension of the chase and the emotional stakes of a father fighting for his son. The score features bold orchestral writing combined with rhythmic motifs that mirror the relentless movement of the armored vehicle at the center of the story.
As a young man in his native Argentina, Lalo Schifrin received classical training in music and also studied law. He came from a musical family, and his father, Luis Schifrin, was the concertmaster of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Buenos Aires at the Teatro Colon. Schifrin continued his formal music education at the Paris Conservatory during the early 1950's, studying with numerous teachers including famed composer Olivier Messiaen. Simultaneously, he became a professional jazz pianist, composer and arranger, playing and recording in Europe. When Schifrin returned to Buenos Aires in the mid 1950s, he formed his own big concert band. It was during a performance of this band that Dizzy Gillespie heard Schifrin play and asked him to become his pianist and arranger. In 1958, Schifrin moved to the United States and thus began a remarkable career.
Lalo Schifrin has written more than 100 scores for films and television. Among the classic scores are MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, MANNIX, THE FOX, COOL HAND LUKE, BULLITT, DIRTY HARRY, THE CINCINNATI KID, THE AMITYVILLE HORROR. Recent scores include TANGO, BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE, THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY, AFTER THE SUNSET, the RUSH HOUR films and ABOMINABLE.
TANK makes its premiere soundtrack release on THE LALO SCHIFRIN COLLECTION: VOLUME 2 and ESCAPE TO ATHENA makes its debut on compact disc. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and include liner notes written by Scott Davis and David Hirsch.
THE LALO SCHIFRIN COLLECTION VOL #2 is a limited edition release.

Dragon's Domain Recordsより、『THE LALO SCHIFRIN COLLECTION: VOLUME 2』がリリース。本作は、作曲家ラロ・シフリン（『スパイ大作戦』、『ブリット』、『ダーティ・ハリー』、『燃えよドラゴン』）が、その膨大なフィルモグラフィーの中からついに『オフサイド７』と『ミスター・タンク』のオリジナル・サウンドトラックをカップリング収録しています。
トラックリスト1979年に公開された『オフサイド７』は、ジョージ・P・コスマトス（『カサンドラ・クロス』、『ランボーII』、『トゥームストーン』）が監督、エドワード・アンハルトとリチャード・S・ロクテが脚本を手がけた第二次世界大戦を舞台にした冒険映画で、ロジャー・ムーア、テリー・サヴァラス、デヴィッド・ニーヴン、クラウディア・カルディナーレ、エリオット・グールド、ステファニー・パワーズ、ソニー・ボノ、リチャード・ラウンドツリーが出演しています。ギリシャの大きな島、ロードス島で美しく撮影された『エスケープ・フロム・アテナ』は、第二次世界大戦末期、同島がドイツ軍に占領されていた時期を舞台としている。
連合軍の捕虜たちは、占領軍が古代の財宝をドイツへ持ち帰るために計画した、エーゲ海沖での発掘作業に強制的に従事させられていた。捕虜たちは、近くのアテナ山の頂上にある修道院に、修道士たちが隠したとされるさらに大きな財宝が眠っているかもしれないことを突き止める。一方、島内のギリシャのレジスタンスは、ドイツ軍駐屯地を攻撃するための独自の作戦を準備していた。捕虜たちの宝探し計画とレジスタンスの破壊工作が交錯する中、物語は欺瞞、大規模な爆発、そして海辺での劇的な戦闘を伴う、混沌としつつもエンターテインメント性豊かなクライマックスへと向かっていく。
『オフサイド７』の特筆すべき点は、大胆なオーケストレーションと地中海風の色彩が見事に融合した音楽である。シフリンは本作のために、戦時下の危険とコミカルな冒険が混在する映画の世界観を反映し、サスペンスと遊び心を絶妙に調和させた音楽を創作した。この音楽には、活気あふれる打楽器や華やかな金管楽器のフレーズ、そしてギリシャの島という舞台を彷彿とさせるメロディックなパッセージが織り込まれている。
1984年に公開された『ミスター・タンク』は、マーヴィン・J・チョムスキーが監督、ダン・ゴードンが脚本を担当し、ジェームズ・ガーナー、シャーリー・ジョーンズ、C・トーマス・ハウエル、マーク・ヘリアー、サンディ・ウォード、ジェニリー・ハリソン、ジェームズ・クロムウェル、ドリアン・ヘアウッド、ジョン・ハンコック、ガイ・ボイド、G・D・スプラドリンが出演した。『ミスター・タンク』は、ジョージア州の小さな町の近くにある軍事基地に転属となった、米陸軍曹長のザック・キャリー（ガーナー）の物語である。キャリーは規律正しく尊敬される下士官であり、軍務と家庭生活の双方に誇りを持っている。しかし、彼は長年苦労を共にしてきた妻（シャーリー・ジョーンズ）に対し、これが最後の任務であり、退役後はボートを購入すると約束していた。ケアリーのトラブルは、町のバーで副保安官に殴打されている娼婦を庇ったことから始まる。彼には知らされていなかったが、そのバーも女も、町を私有の王国のように支配する腐敗した保安官の支配下にあったのだ。
キャリーは公式のルートを通じてこの問題を解決しようと試みるが、保安官の影響力が地元の司法制度全体に及んでいることをすぐに悟る。報復として、保安官はザックの息子ビリー（ハウエル）にでっち上げの罪を着せ、過酷な労働収容所の厳しい環境下で投獄させてしまう。ケアリーは自ら事態を解決することに決める。修復した第二次世界大戦時代のシャーマン戦車を使い、大胆な救出作戦を開始する。ケアリーは戦車を駆ってジョージア州の田舎道を走り抜け、軍警察や地元の法執行機関をかわしながらビリーを救出し、保安官の管轄区域から脱出しようとする。その過程で、サスペンスとブラックユーモアが交錯する劇的な追跡劇が繰り広げられる。
『ミスター・タンク』のためにラロ・シフリンが創作した音楽は、追跡劇の緊張感と、息子のために戦う父親の感情的な葛藤の両方を強調している。このスコアは、物語の中心となる装甲車の絶え間ない動きを反映したリズミカルなモチーフと、大胆なオーケストラの編曲が特徴となっている。
『ミスター・タンク』のサウンドトラックは『THE LALO SCHIFRIN COLLECTION: VOLUME 2』にて初リリース、『オフサイド７』は初CD化となります。
音楽のマスタリングはデジタル・アウトランドのジェームズ・ネルソンが担当し、スコット・デイヴィスとデヴィッド・ハーシュによるライナーノーツが収録されています。
