Henry Mancini on Video, Audio or Printed Materials

Henry Mancini was a household name in the music industry, not only for the great successes with his soundtracks, but also for the arrangements that made his records so popular, even with standards and themes from films from other composers. He toured a lot and hopefully someone has recorded it. He also appeared in television TV Shows and Academy Awards and Grammy Awards Ceremonies, besides winning some of these awards himself.

This page will show some of these appearances, concert recordings and more information on audio and printed material.
