Our Take

Mandy Patinkin's latest album, "Children And Art," is a whimsical journey through the world of musical theatre, filled with passion, talent, and a sprinkle of quirky charm. The Broadway legend showcases his incredible vocal range and emotional depth, bringing each song to life with his unique flair.

From the opening track, "Not While I'm Around," Patinkin captivates listeners with his soothing voice and heartfelt delivery. His interpretation of classics like "Somewhere That's Green" and "Being Alive" is a masterclass in storytelling, drawing the audience in with every note.

Patinkin's collaboration with pianist Paul Ford is seamless, creating a magical atmosphere that perfectly complements his powerhouse vocals. Together, they breathe new life into old favourites, making them feel fresh and exciting once again.

However, "Children And Art" is not without its flaws. Some tracks can feel a bit repetitive or overwrought, lacking the subtlety and nuance that we've come to expect from Patinkin. And while his passion is undeniable, it can sometimes border on melodrama, overshadowing the beauty of the music.

Overall, Mandy Patinkin's "Children And Art" is a delightful addition to his illustrious discography, showcasing his undeniable talent and infectious charm. It may not be perfect, but it's certainly worth a listen for fans of musical theatre and classic Broadway. Grab a glass of wine, sit back, and let Patinkin sweep you off your feet with his enchanting voice.

About the artist

Mandy Patinkin

Mandy Patinkin has had a career as colourful and unpredictable as his whimsical vocal delivery. The Broadway and television star is perhaps best known for his role as Inigo Montoya in "The Princess Bride," where he famously uttered the immortal line, "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." But Patinkin's talents extend far beyond the silver screen. With a voice that can go from delicate to powerhouse in the blink of an eye, Patinkin has carved out a niche in the music world with his eclectic blend of show tunes, pop covers, and original compositions. His ability to effortlessly transition between genres has earned him a reputation as a musical chameleon, capable of tackling anything from Sondheim to Sinatra with ease. But don't let his theatrical background fool you - Patinkin is a true artist, unafraid to push boundaries and experiment with his sound. His latest album, "Diaries: 2018," is a testament to his fearless approach to music, featuring stripped-down arrangements and raw, emotional performances that showcase his vulnerability as a performer. Whether he's belting out a show-stopping ballad or crooning a tender love song, Mandy Patinkin's music is a masterclass in storytelling and emotion. With a career spanning over four decades, it's clear that this quirky, talented artist is showing no signs of slowing down. Keep an eye out for his next musical adventure - you never know where he'll take you next.
