Aisle Say Review


Mandy Patinkin, who tackled CAROUSEL's "Soliloquy" on his first solo album (CBS), devoted a recent album (OSCAR & STEVE; Nonesuch) to Hammerstein and his protege, Stephen Sondheim. All the songs on this album were created with particular characters and specific situations in mind, yet Patinkin deftly removes them from their dramatic contexts and lets them fly. He is successful at being audaciously original yet true to the works' intent, letting his listeners make their own connections between CAROUSEL's "If I Loved You" and PASSION's "I Wish I Could Forget You"; "Bali Ha'i" and "Poems"; the teacher: "You've Got To Be Carefully Taught," and the pupil: "Children Will Listen.""--Rodger's and Hammerstein Organization "Happy Talk"
