Moderate compilation! Moderate sound quality!

This compilation of Henry Mancini's, in my opinion, only partly succeeded. There are indeed some famous pieces of it on the CD (The Pink Panther Theme, Moon River, Baby Elephant Walk and It Had Better Be Tonight). But unfortunately, are included on this CD to about 80% only songs that have been always composed like Moon River with the same choir use. What makes the CD very monotonous in many parts.
Furthermore, I find makes the sound quality a little to be desired: One can indeed listen to the CD without the sound quality to be annoyed, but really joy comes not to, especially the moderate sound quality, the monotony of the music intensified.

Undoubtedly, the four times Oscar winning film music composer Henry Mancini is also a brilliant jazz composer and he has a lot written today as standard work geltene works in the field of ballroom dance music. It is therefore definitely not to Henry Mancini's music but solely on compilation and sound quality that I have this CD only given 3 stars. I think that is this compilation is to be referred to as far from "The Very Best Of Henry Mancini".

For those who want to Henry Mancini music down, I recommend the complete soundtrack of the Pink Panther or Breakfast at Tiffany feared: Very brilliant and also very versatile and entertaining film scores, the lift many qualities of Henry Mancini in excellent manner.
