MANCINI: Music of Henry Mancini (The) (arranged by Richard Hayman)

Now best remembered among easy-listening fans for the Pink Panther theme, Henry Mancini also wrote innovative background music for such Oscar-winners as Breakfast At Tiffany’s, Days Of Wine And Roses and Victor /Victoria, while in the sphere of TV he effectively introduced the ‘modern jazz’ score (Peter Gunn). This album offers orchestral cameos from several of his most admired works in both genres.
