Paper Is White This release features one of America's greatest entertainers singing classic Yiddish and American favorites. ?à?Mamaloshen,?ॠwhich follows Patinkin?àùs best-selling Nonesuch recording ?à?Oscar and Steve,?ॠhas been all these years in the making. Ranging from well-known Yiddish standards like ?à?Raisins and Almonds?ॠand ?à?Oyfn Pripetshik,?ॠto rousing renditions of ?à?Rabbi Elimeylekh?ॠand ?à?Der Alter Tzigayner,?ॠto new arrangements of Irving Berlin?àùs ?à?God Bless America?ॠand Paul Simon?àùs ?à?American Tune,?ॠit is a collection that is as personal as it is universal. ?à?Yiddish is not a religious language, it is a street language,?ॠsays Patinkin. ?à?Like everybody who has ever left home, I wanted to preserve the street, the neighborhood, that corner of my heritage. It?àùs not my intention to literally trace the history of Jewish or Yiddish music, or its journey to America, but I have always been interested in what Jewish musicians and composers have done to assimilate. I think all these writers ?àó Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Paul Simon ?àó did write Jewish music.?à¥Patinkin set about learning their songs ?àó in Yiddish. He also consulted Yiddish music experts, and began collecting a selection of traditional songs, some well-known and others rare. Along with longtime musical collaborator Paul Ford, he assembled a team of translators, language coaches, and arrangers that helped him compile 16 songs that tell stories of mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, leaving home, finding a new home, courtship, love, survival, and death. In his inimitable vocal style, Mandy approaches this material as he does everything ?àó with power and love. ?à?Mamaloshen?ॠis a testament to the rich variety of Jewish musical tradition ?àófrom Belz to Broadway, Yiddish Theater to Tin Pan Alley ?àó and to the spirited resilience of its creators.
