 great Broadway Oct 31, 2009
I was raised with Broadway tunes and I have to say that this is one of the best of the genre I've heard. Particular favs are "Rockabye Your Baby With a Dixie Melody" an old Al Jolson number rendered with a lot of spirit, and "Soliloquy" from Carosel.
Mandy has the perfect voice for this music and I can picture him onstage, belting out "Swanee". His "Coffee In A Cardboard Cup" is reminiscent of Spike Jones, without the sound effects.
An altogether terrific album and well worth buying.
Mandy Patinkin Sings Nov 23, 2008
This CD was a gift to a friend that had never heard Mandy sing.
She thought that he was an actor only and new him through
The Princess Bride and Yentyl. She is quite sheltered living in a very small town with one theater, only a couple of tv channels, and three
restaurants.
She is now a Mandy fan and loved the recording and his interpretation
of the songs he sings. She was so enthused that she bought Evita
and Bernstein's New York, which I recommended. Loves them both.
He is a gifted artist and since I have seen him five times on stage in concert I always look forward to seeing him again and again.
A Great Singer Singing Songs He Loves Dec 17, 2007
I first bought this CD for my wife, but now I think I like it even more than she does. Patinkin has a strong and melodic voice and really seems to enjoy the songs he sings. He frequently adopts a style that creates the character in the song. So many artists simply record what they think will sell best. It's a real treat to find one who sings what he (at least seems to) enjoys so much.

It's Mandy at his best Jan 24, 2007
What more to say? This album is from Broadway's finest singing actor, though not often seen outside TV these days. So this collection is doubly welcome--Patinkin singing in a vast range of song styles, and all superbly. Just listen to Once Upon a Time and you will see what I mean--every note, every word perfectly realized. Patinkin at his best. To find his equals you would have to go to crossover singers from the opera stage, such as Bryn Terfel, Thomas Hampson, Samuel Ramey. He's in their league in his perfection of execution and realization of the composers' meaning. Bob Finley, Palm Springs, CA

 Master Interpreter Jan 11, 2007
A number of reviewers reviled Mandy Patinkin and I accept that yet I am completely enthralled and deeply moved by many of his songs. He does not sing rock, blues, country etc nor does he croon. I would venture to call him a Broadway singer since I know that is his background, though I confess I've never been there and don't even know if that makes sense. He is descriptive and interpretative. His voice is gentle and melodic and can also boom like a sonic blast basically riveting me in my chair with awe as tears well up. Go figure! He brings forth a compelling intimacy to his songs that I really don't know how to describe. As though the timbre of his singing tells a story as much as the lyrics. It works for me so much I can't fathom those that revile his music. Its like he's from a different generation. Perhaps a different genre. That may be more my lack of exposure to the rest of the world, but who knows?
