Music reviews of Oscar & Steve
Music Review: At his best? Maybe not....
Rating: 4 Stars
Some reviewers were truly dissapointed with Mandy Patinkin's voice. Obviously. When you buy a CD, know if you like the performer's style. Some people dont exactly love this man, and some do. This review is for those who do, or who at least know they are interested.
Mandy Patinkin is one of the most talented performers of our age. There is no doubt about that. Is this is best album? Probably not. Is this Mandy Patinkin's beautiful voice in its purest form? Most certainly not. But when I got the amazing opportunity of meeting Mr. Patinkin, I could only have him sign two of my CDs, as to not look like a fool. The one I picked up immediately was the original cast recording of Evita, with Mandy as Che, and what I would recommend to anyone reading this. That has an incredible mix of Mandy's soaring highnotes (High Flying Adored), and his booming angry lows (Oh What a Circus) and so many amazing songs of his and Patti Lu Pone's. But this writeup is about Oscar and Steve. That was the second CD i grabbed, because it goes beyond the amazing.
While too great a portion of the soundtrack is taken up by Mr. Patinkin's lilting soaring tenor, there are some true gems, generally the ones that take advantage of his beautiful lower range. Pleasant Little Kingdoms is frantic and Poems is perfectly pretty, both really good duets with nameless entities (maybe I'm just too lazy to look). BUT! The best songs of the album are the loud and angry ones like Bali' Hai, and the ending with the two best songs, Not a Day Goes and the Children Will Listen Mix. This is where Mandy Patinkin really takes off, and where we see the true feeling of his art.
For anyone who likes deep songs, and for those who likes those songs to be materfully sung, I highly suggest Oscar and Steve (and get Evita while you are at it).
