Moon River: The Best of Henry Mancini

by Henry Mancini

Overview

This budget-priced 2009 collection from the venerable composer and conductor may only scratch the surface, but its 19 tracks, which include Mancini staples like "The Pink Panther Theme," "Breakfast at Tiffany's," "Moon River," "Days of Wine and Roses," "Peter Gunn," and "Theme from Love Story," serve as an excellent highlight reel, even with the cruel omission of "Baby Elephant Walk." ~ James Christopher Monger
