Fiddler on the roof original broadway cast recording.

For me what raises the original 1964 broadway cast recording of fiddler on the roof to the indispensable level is 1 the superb vividly captured orchestral playing with magnificent clarinet trills in the wedding bottle dance which like the rumor was a welcome addition to the cd transfer from the original lp and an evocative accordion in sunrise sunset and 2 the beautifully sung hodel of julia migenes later to have a major operatic career. Now realistically on cd there are five. The music is beautiful and haunting at moments.

A top ten multi platinum selling hit this is the quintessential fiddler on the roof recording disappointing only to those who consider topol the definitive tevye. The original broadway cast not only boasted a strong performance from mostel but also had beatrice arthur as yente the matchmaker.
