Album Description:
Digitally remastered digipak reissue of the soundtrack to the 1961 celluloid adaptation of Truman Capote's novel that starred Audrey Hepburn. Includes one bonus track 'Wait Until Dark'. Features Henry Mancini's Oscar-winning score which includes the absolutely gorgeous 'Moon River', with a melody even more beautiful than the film's star! Featured musicians include Laurindo Almeida, Ralph Collier, Vince DeRosa, Shelly Manne, Jimmy Rowles, Jack Sheldon and others. RCA/Victor.

When you think of Henry Mancini, you inevitably think of either "Peter Gunn" or "Moon River." (Well, maybe "The Pink Panther"--but that became a cartoon show, so it doesn't count!) Breakfast at Tiffany's gave the world the latter tune, and that beautiful melody recurs throughout this soundtrack LP, which remained No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts for 12 weeks in 1961. (Music for Peter Gunn in 1959 was Mancini's only other No. 1 album.) The soundtrack doesn't include Andy Williams's hit single of "Moon River," but then neither did the film. It does, however, take you through the many moods of the film (and the exploits of Miss Holly Golightly), with an emphasis on Latin influences in the forms of "Latin Golightly" and "Moon River Cha Cha." Nevertheless, one common complaint has been that RCA could've remastered the music and added additional tracks to flesh out the CD. Maybe in the future... --Bill Holdship

I have always loved the Breakfast at Tiffany's soundtrack, and I have had it on vinyl for years. I wanted to get a CD copy so I could listen to it on my iPod, and I was really excited about getting this version of the CD because the track list says it has the whole Breakfast at Tiffany's soundtrack as well as one for Arabesque, with a whopping 24 songs.
Well, the CD actually only has the 11 original soundtrack songs for B at T's, plus one bonus song. The remaining songs are nowhere to ... Read More

Having never been a fan of Mancini ("A Shot in the Dark" was the only Mancini tune I liked), I was surprised how some of the songs really work for me.
I still can not stand to hear "Moon River", but "Something for the Cat" and especially "Sally's Tomato" are top craft arrangements. "Loose Caboose" is another favorite. Listening to these three songs gave me a thought I never had before. And that is that Mancini has had a huge impact on Quincy Jones. Jones swingin big band style obviously ... Read More

"Moon River" is a classical soft music. This album is very listening and relaxing, and for my suprise, also intersting. Manccini had made using cha-cha-cha, jazz, shuffle and a very, very soft rock'n roll. Very good!

Great soundtrack, though very hard to find. Henry Mancini does a great job with the orchestra, I can almost see Mr.Yomioshi peeking out of his door, or Holly singing with her guitar in her windowsill. Perfect for background music when entertaining, and also when you want to relax and enjoy the music of the 1950's.

Back in the mid-1980s, I had an idea for a "theme party" I wanted to throw. Unfortunately, life (lower case L) obstructed my plan and I never got around to it. {*Truth is, he never managed to save up enough money to buy friends to invite.*} But I did record four 90-minute cassette tapes of background music for the party that never was. (Remember, this was before recordable CDs and all the other technocrap.) Oh, the music would have been great: Booker T And The MGs; Three Dog Night; Bobby Darin; Stevie ... Read More
