The Pink Panther is one of the best main themes ever. Very impressive performance!

[@fredleal2931]

I must say Mission Impossible although I also love this theme

[@Sparky_PJO_Fan]

[@michaelmancini5773]

he's was and is my uncle Henry, and I'm still in awe of his music.

[@patrickarlaud4677]

Oh wow!

[@thomasthomas8091]

That's awesome! The whole world lost him in 1994, and he is truly sadly missed by many. Hopefully he's still entertaining musically, wherever he is.

[@celestejaworski3124]

❤ that theme song his music

[@Sparky056]

Anyone that’s old by today’s standards will always love and respect the Pink Panther, I’m 68 and this is class, classic and cool. Yes, I said cool. You’re all awesome.

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you very much 🤗😎

The most underappreciated jam of all time..

[@babesimmons4017]

They look like they are having a great time playing! Made us smile through the entire video😁

[@WDRKlassik]

We are happy that the joy comes across!

[@karenreardon5398]

Henry's music is timeless. So sorely missed.😢❤

[@WDRKlassik]

💕

[@kpete9219]

This is fantastic! The performance is top shelf and the quality of sound is so crisp and clear!!!!!

[@maritzatagle1801]

Que me gustó esta música , me recuerda mi caminar y me daba mucha risa por que mis amiguitos la tarareaban al compás y vaya 🙋‍♀️🫶🫂❤️🇨🇱

Die Audioqualität aus dieser Aufnahme ist unglaublich. Man meint, dass man tatsächlich dort ist!

[@WDRKlassik]

Das freut uns, zu hören!

[@imbees2]

This was a fabulous song in the 60s. I loved this song. Pink Panther!

[@Julian-jt6gb]

Yak total !!!

[@WTH1812]

Mancini produced so much great music. Love the way Pink Panther and Peter Gunn are recognizable from the first tap of the drum/cymbal.

[@CharlesPayet]

Oh, the memories this brings back, of watching Peter Sellers in all those Pink Panther movies with the family in the early 80's! Love this performance!

[@Garrito06]

I play the flute and my friend plays the tenor sax and we have been waiting for so long to play this son in our class. We each got a solo and I’m so excited

[@WDRKlassik]

Sounds like fun!

[@amethystanne4586]

I am assuming you have played your solo since your post? Did you enjoy doing your solo? Sixth-grader MiddleGrandson just started this year playing the saxophone. He and I have discussed how much we enjoy The Pink Panther Theme. For his birthday next month, I bought him a copy of it in the alto saxophone range.

[@malloryfadden345]

I love all your performances and I have to say the guy on saxophone looks like he enjoys this very much so very talented bunch of people ❤

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you so much! We're happy to hear that you enjoy our performances 🥰

[@jeannieward4131]

He plays the saxophone very well... It makes me feel happy. Thank you for sending it to me

[@chavezguatemalaeric5057]

I've loved the pink panther since I was a child, I always saw it when they passed it and said, how cool

[@mrdjangofreeman5560]

Great version of this legendary tune , congrats 😊

[@Ara_Arasaka]

When you’re the saxophonist for a orchestra and you wanna bring your gf to your performance to impress her:

[@jackgibsxxx0750]

This and yakky sax.

[@lisareed5669]

Fiddles are snapping like "I'm not percussion." I expected a knife fight ...

[@dudetocartman]

That's a great way to point it. Long ago as a young kid, I used to play the sax. Then I played the Piano in my Senior year of High School for a year class. I even did The Pink Panther Theme for my final on Piano. If only I can play both again, or at least piano of the theme, then that's impressive enough for anyone.

[@user-wo7mh6di5b]

Можно и бабушку привести, ей тоже понравится музыка!

[@steffendittrich7239]

Einfach Zeitlos und Klasse. Kann man sich ewig anhören. Super.

[@fcoc01]

Das ganze Orchester ist Klasse, aber das Sax ist absolut geil 👍🏻

[@WDRKlassik]

Vielen Dank. 😊

[@christianzoch4341]

ist es. mir aber einen winzigen tick zu dominant.

[@caprioli54]

It remind when I was a little kid ( 8 year old ) to watch the PANTERA ROSA in televition carton and it was a good music and program. now I am 70 year old and still I like the music very much...Mr. MANCINI GRAZIE....

[@WDRKlassik]

🤗

[@marymccluer1630]

Mancini is underrated! He had a lot of iconic pieces.

[@WDRKlassik]

Oh yes, "Moon River" for example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3fcYYeHrKtgiKssi=Hq9woVbniMJVxs8C

[@rebeccaduncan5970]

the Pink Panther had a old school song to be playing now when the show was cool and had seeing the show into the 1977 and here to you Henry Mancini thinking you sir , Robert K, 😎🤓🦸🧚‍♀🧚‍♂🧚

[@user-kg2fz4xo2x]

When you look up what COOL sounds like, this is what you get...😊

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you! 😎

[@user-wi3ng1kq2z]

I love the way the soloist plays, for this particular song with so much passion and Joy...It has a way of making me happy each time I see and listen to it...KCP

[@fizzy1922]

[@rudolfhelmut9029]

Einfach großartig, erinnert mich an meine Jugend, halt im ARD und ZDF noch bessere Sendungen liefen als heute

[@PlasmaPhi]

I can't help but hear the laugh track in the background when something unfortunate happens to bignose!😂

[@richardhughes7868]

Bye far the best version I’ve had the pleasure of watching 👀 and hearing 🦻in my opinion ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you! 🤗

[@carolgarabedian01]

Love this melody

[@WDRKlassik]

[@ROCKINGMAN]

Excellent recreation of the very well known Mancini theme.

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you!

[@macwyll]

Golden Brown was by Mancini? I always thought it was by the Stranglers

[@gilmueller4803]

Kudos to the sax. Plas Johnson is smiling

[@Tribsaboy]

Loved listening to our daughter playing this on her saxaphone in her bedroom, aged 8

[@thomaslennartz4372]

Klasse gespielt. Sympathisches, gutes Orchester. Danke Ihnen sehr!

[@CraigCaldwell-ln5zf]

How many an orchestra have I listened to, who knew NOT how to relax and actually enjoy their performance?!

[@Marten_Zeug]

Eines meiner Liblingslieder!

[@TaminiLink]

Meins auch auch die Musik von Fantomas

[@TaminiLink]

Ist klasse

[@mjbucar]

What an incredible international classic. Thank you.

[@WDRKlassik]

You are welcome :)

[@samirsenni8345]

Magnifique !

[@WDRKlassik]

Gracias!

[@dougking4377]

Saw Henry Mancini in concert in KC, incredible show.

[@nicodemusjara6201]

I don’t understand why there is not more geniuses like this.

[@thomasmuziani805]

One of the most sublime, melodic pieces of music ever. It will never become dated because it is our modern day Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata. BTW: Since the 60’s I have admired Joe Morello on drums. He always made it look easy. His drumming is one of a kind. What a group.

[@WDRKlassik]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@Losentetre]

What a performance! You gave me the chills 💞🎶

[@kevinharmon3371]

My wife’s dad, my 2nd dad loved the Panther movies- I can still his chuckles.

[@ahmadsakr8874]

I love the Pink Panther cartoon, the best and the music also .... my best cartoon preference I always have enjoyed. cartoon ART.

RIP to all in the group who sat with their hands folded during the performance

[@joseosmirfiorelli2527]

Lovely!!! Fabulous!!! Thank you!

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you! 🥰

[@Lady_A.R.Browne]

❤❤❤ It was beautifully played. One flutist went a tone high (anxiety). LOL I know that feeling.❤❤❤ Practice makes perfect. 😂❤ This video is on my favorite list under Henry Mancini nonetheless. 🤗

[@mariselavega9669]

Is amazing!❤

[@WDRKlassik]

Thank you! 🤗

[@GomesMaVi]

Magnífico!!!

[@josefjahn6985]

Wie klasse ist das de5👍

[@trainliker100]

Henry Mancini made a BIG change in the landscape of popular music by infusing so many jazz elements into it. And while a lot of people today may not have heard of him, you can probably go almost anywhere in the world and even go up to ten year old kids and go "da dum ... da dum ... da dum da dum da dum da dum da..." ahd they know the song and can continue it..

[@WDRKlassik]

So true!

[@charlesbartholomew2910]

A great rendition, the woman's look at about the 40s mark makes me wonder if the sax player is going off script a bit with his little improvs.
