HENRY MANCINI レコード& CD

Review: Henry Mancini's iconic score for The Pink Panther is an amazing example of the power of music to define cinema. Released 60 years ago, the album's unforgettable melodies have become synonymous with the film and its bumbling detective Inspector Clouseau. The catchy 'Pink Panther Theme' alone remains a cultural touchstone, widely recognized and streamed. Mancini's genius infused the score with a whimsical yet sophisticated flair, mirroring the film's comedic tone. The album's Grammy Award-winning success cemented its place in popular culture, earning a well-deserved spot in the Grammy Hall of Fame. The 60th Anniversary Edition celebrates the timeless brilliance of Mancini's Pink Panther score. Pressed on vibrant pink vinyl, it offers a nostalgic reminder of the film's enduring charm and the enduring power of Mancini's musical genius.

Review: Truman Capote's novel Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of the silver screen's most iconic films and certainly one of Henry Mancini's best ever soundtracks. It is a superbly pleasing blend of pop and swing that is captivating and fresh for the duration. The 12 tracks here all exude real class, great songwriting and arranging skills and range from the big-band sound of 'Something for Cat' to the smooth lounge groove 'Sally's Tomato' via the more wilfully wild moments of 'Mr. Yunioshi. Reel To Reel present this reissue on limited edition white vinyl.
