The creative team came up with the idea of giving the cold, glittering diamond the appearance of a cold pink panther, leading a bumbling detective in a merry dance to the sinuous strains of the Panther theme.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eMancini wouldn't be Mancini if he hadn't immersed the film's location—the ski resort of Cortina d'Ampezzo—in an extremely diverse array of colors and musical genres. His well-known love of dance music is evident in the samba (\"It Had Better Be Tonight\"), the shuffle (\"Champagne and Quail\"), and the cha-cha-cha (\"Something For Sellers\"). But even the ballad, sung by a muted trumpet and saxophone (\"Royal Blue\"), or the simple combination of keyboard and strings (\"Piano and Strings\") are all woven into the story. One of the most memorable and delightful sounds is that of the accordion, whose melodies evoke a rich atmosphere of Bohemia, Paris, and the sound of the musette. This music is never flamboyant, but discreet, just like a panther silently advancing. And if you're now craving more, there's an extra helping of Mancini to be found in \"Breakfast at Tiffany's\" (RCA LSP 2362).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis Speakers Corner LP has been remastered using only analog components, from the masters to the cutting head ( \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pure-analogue.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/pure-analogue.com\u003c\/a\u003e )\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"production_info\"\u003e Recorded: September 1963 at RCA Victor's Music Center of the World, Hollywood, by Jim Malloy\u003cbr\u003e Production: Joe Reisman\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e RCA LSP-2795\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Format:\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e1LP 180g 33rpm \/ standard sleeve\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Original label:\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eRCA\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Barcode:\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e4260019713995\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Release Date:\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e2011-10-04\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Speakers Corner","offers":[{"title":"LP 33 rpm","offer_id":51033356861787,"sku":"SPC2795","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/1016\/6580\/files\/71ImdylK-RL._UF1000_1000_QL80.jpg?v=1753347502"},{"product_id":"henry-mancini-breakfast-at-tiffanys","title":"Henry Mancini: Breakfast At Tiffany's","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHenry Mancini: Breakfast At Tiffany's\u003c\/strong\u003e ( \u003cb\u003eSPC2362\u003c\/b\u003e )\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\n \u003cspan\u003eSpeakers Corner -\u003c\/span\u003e LP AUDIOPHILE PRESSING \u003cspan class=\"contentAndConfiguration\"\u003e180g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"title_and_interpreter\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Breakfast at Tiffany's\" - Henry Mancini (arr., dir., p.) and orchestra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan\u003eLong nights, carefree parties, a variety of male friends, and breakfasts in front of the famous jewelry store punctuate the life of the glittering Holly Golightly, who in reality has a very common name and a poor background. All the more so is the musical carpet that Henry Mancini spreads beneath the feet of the exotic socialite in search of a husband. Aside from the tender and melancholic worldwide hit \"Moon River,\" Mancini and his Hollywood musicians blend a sugary sound with enough acrid elements to veil the woman's capricious nature. The fresh big band sound is spiced up by a bold trumpet solo (\"The Big Blow Out\") and soft violins accompanied by a suspiciously subdued male chorus (\"Breakfast at Tiffany's\"). As is well known, the film features plenty of dancing, including a Latin-tinged number (\"Latin Golightly\") and a rousing mambo (\"Loose Caboose\"). By the end of the film, even the \"Moon River\" swells into a gurgling cha-cha-cha, as if to say that a \"happy ending\" doesn't have to sound sentimental in any way.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAnother Mancini mix, the \"Pink Panther\" soundtrack (RCA LSP 2795), is also available on the Speakers Corner label.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThis Speakers Corner LP has been remastered using only analog components, from the masters to the cutting head ( \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/pure-analogue.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehttps:\/\/pure-analogue.com\u003c\/a\u003e )\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"production_info\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eRecording: 1961\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cspan\u003eProduction: Dick Pierce\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e RCA LSP-2362\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Format: 1LP 180g 33rpm \/ standard sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Original label: RCA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Barcode: 4260019714008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e Release Date: 2011-10-04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Speakers Corner","offers":[{"title":"LP 33 rpm","offer_id":51033400312155,"sku":"SPC2362","price":39.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/1016\/6580\/files\/81rx5wEO0vL.jpg?v=1753347593"}],"url":"https:\/\/referencemusicstore.myshopify.com\/en\/collections\/joe-reisman.oembed","provider":"Reference Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
