"It seems only natural to create a recording of my father's music. It is as much a part of me as I am a part of him." ~ Monica Mancini ~ "Dear Heart," "Moon River," "Two for the Road" and "Days of Wine and Roses" are my very favorites from one of the greatest composers of all-time, Henry Mancini. The first two are some of the tunes I loved playing on piano. Coming from a legitimate musically-oriented family, I remember when I was growing up, our home was literally filled with music day in and day out. My late parents enjoyed listening to music together and had listening sessions almost every night. My sisters and I used to hang around and listen with them. One of our many family favorites back then was (and still is) the wonderful music of Henry Mancini. I'm so glad that Monica Mancini continued her late father's musical legacy and recorded a tribute album and dedicated it to her parents. This is her debut CD and I would say it is utterly flawless and fabulously done. The perfectly chosen repertoire is a pleasure to listen to. It starts off with her beautiful version of Johnny Mercer-penned-lyrics and composed by Henry Mancini, my favorite "Moment To Moment," showcasing Ms. Mancini's graceful voice and impeccable phrasing. Its Bossa Nova-inspired-arrangement by Patrick Williams is so sweet and dreamy. I loved it! Henry Mancini/Jay Livingston/Ray Evan's "Dear Heart" is simply a beautiful song and my top choice. Ms. Mancini's interpretation is so perfect and the lone guitar accompaniment by George Doering made it more enchanting. Henry Mancini's charming music was immortalized with Ms. Mancini's fresh, smooth and impressive interpretations. There's a glow in her voice and she exudes warmth and affection to each song. This is a great CD. Very highly recommended for your listening pleasure.
