About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Documenting the Jewish-American experience in song, Mandy Patinkin weaves a rich tapestry of legend, oral history and popular song, all in Yiddish. The most interesting tunes on Mamaloshen include Paul Simon's "American Tune" and "Maria" from West Side Story which become perfectly adapted to Patinkin's use. The lush arrangements by Paul Ford lend a sweeping cinematic air to the project, making it at once humble and grand, much like the dreams of millions of immigrants. Tim Sheridan, All Music Guide

Patinkin Presents a Work Of Artby KevinSNY

December 01, 2009: Mamaloshen (Mother Tongue) is a CD of songs sung by Mandy Patinkin in Yiddish. In another lifetime, Mandy would have been a cantor. Instead he is a gift from God to America. This brilliamt actor and interpretor of Sondheim presents us with a collection which includes Take Me Out to The Ballgame and Paul Simon's American Tune (which is worth the price of admision in itself). I am not Jewish. I am Irish Catholic. So I do not understand the words, even of the songs that I know in Rnglish. Still, I do understand the emotion. This CD is something special'

The only thing that I ask is that Mandy would record a Yiddish version of "Sweet Caroline" for my Red Sox friends.
