Henry Mancini And His Orchestra
Nearly perfect recording. Musically and fun to listen.
CanadaVery good music but recordings aren't so matching
For example, the beginning of track 2 starts with too loud left channel volume. Hope the future Redux will fix it.
United StatesMancini at some of his innovative, exuberant best
How long has this been on the Absolute Sound's Super LP list in one or another of its vinyl incarnations?!? I'm very happy to find it now released by HDTT in this very nice DXD transfer. The album has long been a great, fun listen - particularly the ever popular "Baby Elephant Walk" which is reproduced superbly here. You either love this album or you don't; I find it great fun. This is Mancini at some of his innovative, exuberant best, as he explores a huge range of sounds, rhythms, and textures. The sound quality of the DXD transfer to which I'm listening is very nice: open and alive, with extended frequency extremes and sharply defined impactful dynamics. It is another very nice HDTT transfer.
