a beautiful album..........2006-01-24

lemme take you back to chuuch with this one...

yaknow, we growd up... get too busy for life to spiritually
ruminate upon our origins...

we fall into shambles.
and a state of less-than-somethin-graceful...

this digital age will slowly destroy you/this heavy handed
matrix closes in/captures the core of you in its binary code.

...get free...

...there is still time...

...life is still beautiful and proud...

..."cry of my people" can help get you back where you belong.

and if i'm lyin,
then it's only by
a little bit.

A masterpiece!.......2004-05-06

This is so great that it should be considered holy and is very much so for myself. The entire album is completely professional down to the beautiful cover art. I can't do much justice in writing about this other than if you like blues, hip-hop, jazz, avant garde, african rhythms, soul or better put music in general then this is for you. The title says it all and backs it up with originality and legitimacy that has rarely been surpassed. Simply put,this is top notch beauty regardless of genre.

Recorded live at the Prince Music Theater in Philadelphia, this double CD is one heck of an extensive tribute to Stephen Sondheim. Backed only by Paul Ford on piano, Mandy Patinkin gets through nearly three dozen songs penned by the Broadway master. Some are obvious (excerpts from Sunday in the Park with George, in which the singer created the title role), others less so ("If You Can Find Me I'm Here" from Evening Primrose). Patinkin is often mocked for his shivering falsetto, but here, it's actually when his voice explores a lower register that it falters. What's more interesting is when he tackles songs usually sung by women, such as Follies' "Broadway Baby" and Company's "Another Hundred People" and "You Could Drive a Person Crazy"--the latter hammed up so much that you can hear the chewing of the scenery. A distinctively mannered interpreter, Patinkin remains an acquired taste, but fans of his will be in heaven with this set. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Sondheim recital.......2007-01-22

Probably the best way to approach these disks is to treat them like a recital in a concert hall. Rather as you would listen to a Schubert or Schumann song cycle. Taken together this way, we come to hear Sondheim as one of our finest composers, serious, comic, manic, depressive, always dead on target no matter what the subject matter. And Patinkin is perfect for these songs; he understands the meaning and value of every note and every word, just as a fine concert singer would do, and he makes his listeners understand, too. One of the most intriguing concept albums in recent memory, and a joy all the way through. Bob Finley, Palm Springs, CA.

Also a very dissapointed fan.......2003-08-22

I too LOVE Mandy and Stephen Sondheim and own just about everything both has ever made! I also have been to 6 of Mandy's live performances. This was truly a big dissapointment to me. Every concert I have seen Mandy in has been filled with emotion and his personality just grabs hold of you for an evening of wonderful escape-ism. This to me was very un-entertaining and I actually became irritated after awhile of listening to it. It seemed to drone on with out the wonderful feelings and emotions and soaring voice that Mandy typically puts into his music. I gave this as a gift too (since my friend and I had missed Mandy at his Sondheim review in DC last year) and felt badly that I had. There are so many other great recordings of Mandy...Kidults, Saturday in the Park with George, The Secret Garden, Mandy sings Rogers & Hammerstien and Sondheim. This one has just sat on my shelf after I played it through twice hoping to warm up to it...while my other recordings are very worn out with years of playing!

Adequate performance; poor entertainment.......2003-05-04

I received this disc the same day a "Philip Quast Live at the Donmar". The Quast disc has its own flaws (and I dont wish to compare the two performers) but it has been strung together in a more thoughtful manner, with witty imagination and using a more dangerous in the choice of songs, which is really where this disc fails. The songs here are generally enjoyable though rather standard, and the lack of cohesion (running the songs together doesnt count) means I just dip into the discs listening to a few favourites, rather than enjoying the whole show.

a very disappointed fan.......2003-02-05

I have every recording Patinkin appears on, even if he's only on one track; I adore his voice, his flair, his emotion, his ability to deliver a song.

But (much of) this recording is disappointing, mainly because Mr. Patinkin's voice in the lower range sounds muddled and forced, as though he's lost ability to control it (however, the more falsetto sounds are as clear and sharp as ever).

And I don't care for the format of this performance. Live recordings should have live audience reactions: one (often unrelated) song after another without applause had me wondering when--if ever--was the audience was going to be allowed to react.

Also, while I've never had the privilege of attending a Patinkin concert, I imagined that--above all-- he would be passionate. Perhaps he was. But what (mostly) comes across on the CD is a somber--almost technical--performance.

I hope he's healthy, that mixed quality of singing on this recording was just a fluke, and that his next CD will be a Five-star as all his previous ones have been

What a train wreck!.......2003-01-15

Hate to join the chorus of neigh-sayers, but jeeeez! I have to agree that with the exception of a few cuts (such as "Hyphenated Harriet") Mandy is a vocal bull in a china shop -- what he doesn't shatter he ... on. What should have been a tribute (I love Sondheim, but do we need ANOTHER anthology recording of oft sung songs?)is more like a wake. Mandy seems intent on becoming the male Ethel Merman -- if you can't hold the note, belt it out with a misplaced vabrato and maybe no one will notice. I REALLY wanted to like this recording, but is truly horrible. If the pipes are gone, Mandy, I hope you get back to acting.

Great compositions - Terrific performances - Killer CD.......2002-02-02

You know that feeling of hopeful expectation when you listen to a cd for the first time. Well, "People Here" doesn't disappoint. The music is engaging and challenging, and not at all predictable. The different tracks vary in content and style and yet they all hang together.

Oscar Peterson once said of his phrasing, "It's not just a series of notes played in a particular manner, it's a place I go to". Well, these guys go to some great places ...some new, some familiar ...and I feel privileged to accompanying them.

Upon subsequent listenings, you really appreciate the musicianship of each member of this quintet, and how he supports and blends so effectively with the others. These guys work really well together.

And, the CD is not just a collection of track, it's a production in itself. It plays well from start to finish. Very, very well done! I'm not nearly finished exploring all the nuances of this terrific CD, and yet I look forward to hearing more from this burgeoning musical force.

Terrific, original jazz -- Well worth the listen.......2002-01-14

When I first picked up this CD and saw that it was the first recording effort for the Chad Anderson Quintet, I thought it would be yet another "clunky" project. Boy, was I surprised!

The sensitivity of this group really comes across in the widely varied tunes they composed and performed. Their interpretations are extremely tasteful--and their musicianship surely made listening to this CD for the first time a true pleasure. I have listened to it over and over; each time it gets better--I hear something new--and continue to be amazed at the musical ability of the group members and the way they are able to play so "tightly" at times and so musically "loose" at others.

To start, Chad Anderson has accomplished a major coup to assemble these young musicians for this session. Plus, he found just the right way to blend each member's personal compositions into the CD's makeup. I look forward to more recordings from this group. One recommendation would be for them to record a group of standards with which most of us are familiar, as well. That way, we could compare their styles and their interpretations with other recordings in our collections.

Chad Anderson, as the drummer for this project, displays terrific musicality, sensitivity, and flexibility throughout each number. He seems to know what's going to happen before it occurs, then accents that instant in just the right way. Chris Parker on piano is, quite obviously, a highly seasoned pianist and composer, because he doesn't over-play and overshadow the group. This is not always easy, but Parker pulls it off in style.

The bassist, Jonathan Wires, though, gets five stars for his mastery of the string bass -- not just from the craft of his musicianship and his stellar compositional capacity, but for his interpretations. He is like an artist wielding a brush who is painting a masterpiece--and we, the listeners, are on-hand for the occasion. Jonathan plays as though he is seasoned well beyond his years.

All in all, this CD gets a top rating. Surely, this group will give us more!!

Customer Reviews:

GREAT RECORDING, BUT THE PRICE..........1999-12-01

This is 20th century opera at its most vivid. Once considered a failure, Osud was resurrected in an English translation that actually improves upon the original libretto. The music is as vital as anything in Janacek: the piece starts a churning riff strangely reminiscent of Philip Glass; the ending is equally memorable -- startlingly brusque and humorous. Throughout, we get musical drama tied to the quick of spoken language; conversations overlap, or suddenly fall silent. At times the story is ridiculous, but the production rides over any problems. Philip Langridge, as always, is great. My only qualm: this was originally a single disc CD on EMI, for a single disc price. Though the package is nice, the price is steep for some 70:00 odd minutes.
