Henry Mancini – Breakfast At Tiffany's (OST Soundtrack, Speakers Corner)

With the exception of the gently melting world hit "Moon River", Mancini and the Hollywood musicians mix a lot of sugar-sweet sound with the necessary bitter substances to glaze the complicated personality profile of the lady. So you spice up fresh big band sound with a rebellious trumpet solo ("The Big Blowout") and a lovely violin melange with a suspiciously devoted male choir ("Breakfast At Tiffany's"). As you know there is a lot to dance in the movie, among others in Latin American rhythm ("Latin Golightly") and Mambo-Groove ("Loose Caboose"). At the end even the "Moon River" swings up to a ratcheting Cha-Cha-bobble, as if to say that a Happy End doesn't have to sound sentimental at all. Another Mancini melange at Speakers Corner is in the "Pink Panther" soundtrack.
