The description appears to suggest that Audrey Hepburn sings MOON RIVER. She doesn't !!! It's instrumental. Henry Mancini and Blake Edwards had already enjoyed considerable success together, with Henry’s distinctive score to the television show Peter Gunn, so when Blake was assigned to direct Breakfast At Tiffany’s, he immediately contacted Henry for the film score. The key track on the album was Moon River, co-written by Johnny Mercer, which was performed by film star Audrey Hepburn. Although Audrey had a limited vocal range, the simplicity of the song suited her to perfection, even though one or two film executives demanded it be cut from the film when they first heard it. In the event the song stayed, going on to win an Oscar for Best Original Song and helping the album attain both an Oscar for Best Original Score and top the album chart.Read full review

The recording is fine, however I purchased this mainly for a track that is NOT included on this CD , namely Audrey Hepburn singing "Moon River" but OK apart from that.
