Title: You are never disappointed when buying a MASTER like Mancini
Review: Music has been always a big part of my life. I have enjoyed most genres of music be as I'm now older I really appreciate the composers and musicians who have stood the test of time. Henry Mancini's music always presented a 'sense of occasion' from Baby elephant Walk to Pink Panther. Created spectacular images for the imagination, a consummate Master of music.
