Title: Master Interpreter
Review: 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?
Is the review positive or negative?
