In addition, this version also includes previously unreleased songs, such as "The Wedding Procession", the First Act Finale and Entr'acte, "The Rejection Scene" beween Tevye and Chava, and "Any Day Now" sung by Perchik, which was not included either in the original motion picture or on the original motion picture soundtrack album. It, of course, also includes music by soloist Isaac Stern. This CD is a real delight and a must-have for musical lovers or Fiddler fans. 19 of 20 people found the following review helpful: By Rivkah Maccaby "Rivkah Maccaby" (Bloomington, IN United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Fiddler on the Roof [30th Anniversary Edition] [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] (Audio CD) I was taken to see this movie when it first premiered. I was four. I didn't understand the plot at all, and was bored silly, yet still managed to leave the theatre singing "Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match...."Many times since I've listened to the soundtrack, and I later bought the video; this show so beautifully captures Jewish folk and klezmer music even while the tunes play so well on Broadway. And by now the songs have become so famous, that many recordings of Jewish folk music include "Sunrise, Sunset." Of course, I had to get the CD to play in my car, and to my delight, it had songs that were not on other recordings: Chava's beautiful song is here! I think the quality of the recording is very good; it's quite clear why this film won an Academy Award for its music, and this CD does it justice. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful: By PianoPlayer8816 (WA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Fiddler on the Roof [30th Anniversary Edition] [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] (Audio CD) Aside from the fact that I loved the movie, most of that came from loving the songs on the movie. I got to a place where I wanted to hear them a lot, but didn't want to skip around on the movie to find the song I wanted to hear. So I bought this soundtrack. It was well worth it.
From the intro song "Tradition" to "If I Were a Rich Man" to "Sunrise, Sunset", this CD has music that is absolutely gorgeous. If you loved the movie, I recommend getting the soundtrack. |
