Work:: Prom 57 (S5994)
Part of the BBC Proms.
Production:: Ultra Lounge - Henry Mancini and Beyond (T0790659963)
Henry Mancini was more than one of the greatest composers in the history of film music. He was also one of the most versatile musicians of his or any time. Marking a century since the flautist, composer and conductor's birth in Ohio, Edwin Outwater and the BBC Concert Orchestra celebrate the man and his music in styles ranging from jazz to light classical and film music. Among the classics are the slinky 'Lujon' and themes from The Pink Panther and Peter Gunn, joined by gems from the lounge music and space-age pop genres Mancini helped inspire, including easy-going tracks by Burt Bacharach, Les Baxter and Juan Garci´a Esquivel. There will be an interval.
