Music reviews of Mancini's HitsMusic Review: Great Mancini overview
I agree with my lone review partner here that MANCINI'S GREATEST HITS is a fine overview of Henry Mancini's career. It gives us a sense of the wide variety of composing that he was capable of, from the romantic melodies of "Moon River" and "Dear Heart" to the jazz of "Peter Gunn" and "The Pink Panther" to the Broadway-inspired music of "Victor/Victoria." However, not represented are darker, ominous pieces that he was also very adept at composing. Although Henry Mancini was primarily a film composer, included too are several concert pieces that were not connected to films, including "Symphonic Soul," "March With Mancini," and "Strings On Fire," all of which are very enjoyable and also are impressive examples of his abilities as an orchestrator. I believe that a few pieces, such as those just mentioned, were included for their quality and variety, and were not really "hits" despite the title of the CD. The music is performed by the impressive Cincinnati Pops orchestra, conducted by Erich Kunzel and with vocals by the Henry Mancini Chorus. Even though Henry Mancini is pictured on the cover, along with Erich Kunzel and the Pink Panther, it's not clear whether he participated in the recording or not.
