Multi talented composer and arranger Henry Mancini enjoyed his ninth US top twenty album chart success with his renowned score for the Pink Panther movie. The Pink Panther Theme received a Grammy for best pop instrumental. (US:8)
"Arguably Mancini's finest film score. What beautiful songs! Henry Mancini's timeless tunes and arrangements sparkle as much now as they did then, bringing forth emotions as strongly as only music can. Each composition is beautifully written, arranged and orchestrated, and each is timeless."
"This is one of the most important music albums ever made. Henry Mancini was a genius that left us a wonderful work. It doesn't seem a soundtrack album and all the songs are very beautiful."
"Henry Mancini's classic soundtrack to The Pink Panther is very timely for the carefree period in which it was released, and captures the feel of this film and those great times that still resonate in the mind. The Pink Panther theme is an endearing and enduring melody that has become instantly identifiable, with both the cartoon character and the film series."
"The soundtrack captures a lot of source music that was certainly then in vogue, and has captured that tantalizing cocktail jet set quality in the numerous compositions especially in It Had Better Be Tonight. The aplomb and easy nature of this recording is on target, capturing the great feel of this film and giving the listener the chance to relive the experience."
"A great way to describe this album is smooth. Everyone will immediately get hooked on the almost ubiquitous first title, The Pink Panther Theme. From there get ready to experience a mellow trip down various snazzy tracks with a European/Latin beat that adds some kick to the tunes, but always in balance with the strings and other instrumentals."
"The musicianship on these songs is impeccable and each tune is very well crafted."
