Curious to hear about the other two discs as well, since they're both also quality composers.

Safan adapts Mahler for Mission of the Shark (Intrada) also. Bizarelly Intrada, per the liner notes, seemed completely unaware.
That's because Safan did not, to the best of my knowledge, "adapt Mahler" for MISSION OF THE SHARK. It's not on any of the paperwork, nor did it come up in my conversations with the composer. In an earlier thread, you referenced "Mahler 3" in connection with this score, and I suppose you could find a passing similarity between the MOTS theme and the opening horn figure from Mahler's Symphony No. 3 (which itself bears a loose resemblance to Brahms). If that is indeed what you're referring to, I wouldn't be comfortable calling it more than coincidence. (I'll add that Safan did cite Copland as an inspiration for MOTS, so I doubt he'd have been shy about mentioning Mahler.)
Do check out the BAD NEWS BEARS films, if you get the chance! The second two aren't the greatest, but I found them interesting in a time-capsule sort of way ... particularly the third, much of which was actually shot in Japan.

I thought I was the only person who noticed Mahler got that from Brahms!
