Quartet Records, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures, presents the premiere vinyl edition of the actual film tracks composed and conducted by Henry Mancini for BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, the landmark, bittersweet romantic comedy directed by Blake Edwards in 1961 and starring Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal, Martin Balsam, Jose Luis de Vilallonga and Mickey Rooney.
What more can you say about BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S that hasn’t already been said? It is one of the most iconic films in the history of cinema, and that’s just from the first five minutes of the movie: Audrey Hepburn, Hubert de Givenchy’s Little Black Dress, Tiffany’s jewelry, and the longing strains of "Moon River." Iconic images and iconic music.
The music is perhaps Henry Mancini’s most famous score, awarded two Academy Awards (for Best Original Score and Best Original Song ["Moon River"]. It is the quintessence of his style, as well as the music and lifestyle of the sixties. The movie, its aesthetics and its music marked an era.
As was customary in the sixties and during his contract with RCA, Mancini recorded a legendary album with a selection of cues specially arranged for listening pleasure. This album has been available continuously for more than sixty years, and it is impossible to count the number of reissues around the world, as well as the countless covers that singers of all nationalities and styles have recorded of "Moon River."
But the original version, the one heard in the movie, the magnificent and clever underscore, or "Moon River" itself, performed by Audrey Hepburn, was not released until Intrada found the masters in the Paramount vaults and released the actual score on CD, for which we will never be able to thank Douglass Fake and his team enough.
The new vinyl boom has given us the irresistible opportunity to release the original score on a luxurious double LP, with all the music, the dramatic score and the source music?music to love, to cry, to dance and to be moved by.
Remastered and restored by Chris Malone from the bottom up from the original masters courtesy of Paramount, this white double vinyl includes a gatefold jacket and a separate booklet with liner notes by Jeff Bond and stills from the movie.
ブレイク・エドワーズが監督し、オードリー・ヘプバーン、ジョージ・ペパードが出演した画期的でほろ苦い1961年のロマンティック・コメディの傑作『ティファニーで朝食を』の本編使用のフィルム・スコアがアナログ盤で世界初リリース！音楽はヘンリー・マンシーニ。
トラックリスト『ティファニーで朝食を』について、これ以上語られていないことがあるだろうか？映画史上最も象徴的な映画のひとつであり、それは冒頭の5分間だけでよく分かる。オードリー・ヘプバーン、ユベール・ド・ジバンシィのリトル・ブラック・ドレス、ティファニーのジュエリー、そして“ムーン・リバー”の甘美な調べ。象徴的な映像と音楽である。
音楽は、おそらくヘンリー・マンシーニの最も有名なスコアであり、アカデミー賞で2部門（作曲賞と歌曲賞［"Moon River"）を受賞している。彼のスタイルの真髄であり、60年代の音楽とライフスタイルの真髄でもある。この映画、その美学、そして音楽は、ひとつの時代を象徴している。
60年代にRCAと契約していた頃の慣例として、マンシーニは、聴く楽しみのために特別にアレンジされたキュー・セレクションを収録した伝説的なアルバムを録音した。このアルバムは60年以上にわたって世界中で再発売され続け、あらゆる国とそのスタイルで様々な歌手が“ムーン・リバー”をレコーディングしたカヴァーは数え切れない。
しかし、映画で聴かれたオリジナル・バージョン、壮大で巧みなアンダースコア、つまりオードリー・ヘップバーンが演奏した “ムーン・リバー”そのものは、INTRADAがパラマウントの保管庫でマスターを発見し、実際のスコアをCDでリリースするまでリリースされることはなかった。
新しいレコード・ブームが、オリジナル・スコアを豪華な2枚組LPでリリースする機会を与えてくれた。
パラマウント提供のオリジナル・マスターからクリス・マローンがリマスタリングし、ボトムアップで復元したこの白い2枚組レコードには、ゲートフォールド・ジャケットと、ジェフ・ボンドによるライナーノーツと映画のスチール写真が掲載された別冊ブックレットが付いています。
