Henry Mancini - Breakfast at Tiffany’s (Music from the Motion Picture) (2013)

The RCA LP included just “Moon River” in the opening titles track and a cha-cha arrangement. Not only does Intrada’s new 38-track release include Audrey Hepburn’s own fragile vocal performance of “Moon River,” but it premieres the complete original music of the movie’s heist sequence, the dramatic bus station farewell, the full opening and end titles, and much more. Nine bonus tracks round out a truly immersive package, including “Moon River” as performed by just Hepburn and guitar, the “Meet the Doc” cue minus the film’s organ grinder, three “Practice Piano” cues and four more “Moon River” alternates. All told, the new disc clocks in at just a bit less than eighty minutes’ length.
