My Memories, Music Maestros, Memorable Movies, Moving Music & Mancini Magic — IMRAN®
From watching The Pink Panther in Pakistan in the early 1970s… to seeing Berlin Philharmonic cellists surprise a modern audience with its iconic theme — life’s soundtrack keeps looping in unexpected ways.
Back in 1987, I was a 24-year-old Pakistani engineer and writer on my first foreign trip, a state guest of West Germany. I turned 25 in West Berlin, attending the city’s 750th anniversary celebration with a front-row seat at the Berliner Philharmoniker performing Beethoven and other monumental works — conducted by the legendary Herbert von Karajan, seated beside the great Willy Brandt.
This clip from Medici.tv’s social feed brings it full circle. Decades later, the same orchestra’s cellists playfully channel Mancini’s magic. Berlin, then and now, remains etched in my heart.
