A wonderful way to enter the world of Mancini

Listen to this album and you'll learn one of two things. 1: Even though you didn't know, you're a Henry Manicini fan. 2: You thought you were a Henry Mancini fan, but now you know that you can't live without his music. It's amazing that one man composed Peter Gunn, the Pink Panther theme, and Moon River. It's even more amazing that they're all on one cd, and at 12 credits for 22 songs it's a steal!

They Say All Music Guide

Greatest Hits is a terrific compilation of 22 digitally remastered Henry Mancini favorites, including his soundtrack themes “Peter Gunn,” “The Pink Panther Theme,” “Love Theme From Romeo and Juliet,” “Mr. Lucky,” and “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” among many others. The collection also includes well-known Mancini tunes like “Moon River,” “The Days of Wine and Roses,” “Baby Elephant Walk,” and “Dear Heart” to name a few. The sound is crystal clear and the track selection demonstrates over and over again Mancini’s gifts for melody and mood. Overall, it’s probably the best single-disc introduction to Mancini’s work yet assembled. – Steve Huey
