Henry Mancini - Hollywood Dreams

King Of Easy Listening.

Seldom has film music been so popular and present as it is at the moment. Hans Zimmer and John Williams tour the world with a large orchestra, Ennio Morricone is paid homage with lavish shows, everywhere there are performances with the great soundtracks of film history. In this context there is no way around another grandmaster of film music: Henry Mancini. Four Oscars, 18 Oscar nominations and 20 Grammys have been accumulated by the son of Italian immigrants during his creative period. The song „Moon River“ from „Breakfast at Tiffany‘s“ and the theme song from the film „The Pink Panther“ are just a few highlights of the King Of Easy Listening. Many of Mancini‘s melodies from the series and movies like „Peter Gunn“, „Mr. Lucky“ or „Hatari!“ are still known by every child and can all be found on this album.
