Henry Mancini: Two For The Road / Me, Natalie - Two Classic Film Soundtracks, CD
With four Oscars, twenty Grammy awards and thirty million albums sold, Henry Mancini was one of the first personality composers of film music. Looking at jazz from a unique perspective, he created scores that were refined, witty, endlessly musical and instantly recognisable. His 1960's film soundtracks are the epitome of timeless period style; The Pink Panther, The Days of Wine and Roses, Arabesque, Breakfast at Tiffany's, where he first worked with Audrey Hepburn, and Stanley Donen's incomparable Two for the Road, where they would again collaborate. Mancini's brilliant score is the first of the soundtracks featured here. It was his personal favourite, one of a trilogy of scores he wrote for Donen.
The Wallaces are Audrey Hepburn and Albert Finney. Two for the Road is an unusually structured romantic road movie with an Oscar-nominated screenplay from the pen of Frederic Raphael, a cleverly juxtaposed montage of a story about a British couple and their struggles in their marriage where, in the end, despite estrangement, mutual infidelity and discord, love conquers all.
The edition's second feature is Mancini's gorgeous music for Fred Coe's Me, Natalie, a perceptive coming of age film star

This year, in 2024, Henry Mancini would have turned 100 years old. So, I thought, before the year was out, I would dedicate a blog post to him and his illustrious film career, for, he has always remained my most favourite composer of all time. Even though he wasn’t known for writing any notable ballets, which is of course always important to me, there is something about his music and his style that captured my heart from a very young age. He blended Jazz, Latin, and Classical music together in such an elegant and stylish way. I like how I feel when I listen to his music, I like who I can imagine myself being, and I am not sure whether many other composers have managed to tap into that same sentiment. I also admire his innate ability to write pieces that are fun, goofy, and tongue-in-cheek. His music never comes across as overly serous or stuck-up, and yet as it is so beautifully orchestrated and crafted, it always retains its integrity, no matter what.
