Henry Mancini- Hollywood Dreams nb (1LP)

King Of Easy Listening

Selten war Filmmusik so populär und präsent wie im Moment. Hans Zimmer und John Williams touren mit großem Orchester um die ganze Welt, Ennio ­Morricone wird mit aufwendigen Shows gehuldigt, überall gib es Aufführungen mit den großen Soundtracks der Filmgeschichte. In diesem Zusammenhang führt an einem weiteren Großmeister der Filmmusik kein Weg vorbei: Henry Mancini. Vier Oscars, 18 Oscar-Nominierungen und 20 Grammys hat der Sohn italienischer Einwanderer in seiner Schaffenszeit angesammelt. Der Song „Moon River“ aus „Frühstück bei Tiffany‘s“ und die Titelmelodie aus dem Film „Der rosarote Panther“ sind nur einige Highlights des King Of Easy Listening. Viele Melodien Mancini´s aus den Serien und Filmen wie „Peter Gunn“, „Mr. Lucky“ oder „Hatari!“ kennt bis heute jedes Kind und finden sich alle auf diesem Album wieder.
