I love it. "Topsy-Turvy" is my favorite song from Friddler, now...

I won't buy this because I do not like Fiddler.

Good reason! You seem to be very picky? What DO you like?

Well, we know that he doesn't like Sondheim....which pretty much says it all, doesn't it?

I like most everything by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Frank Wildhorn, Schonberg, and Stephen Schwartz.

How does Alfred Molina sound on it ?
I haven't seen it. I'm not sure I will... but I'm a fan of Fiddler from seeing the movie and I think I might pick a copy up.

Sconberg and Scwartz definately have.....but I think Schwartz loses some points for giving us 'Wicked'.

I consider Wicked to be on the better end of what I have heard from Schwartz. But then again...I haven't heard much else from him.

Yeah I have to agree Schwartz can be strange. He'll give a song like Gravity that everyone love but then throw song in that everyone skips like "something bad" o well

Some songs are needed to help the show run smoothly.

right. if "something bad" was not in the show, people would get confused. so i guess the question is if he can make it sound like something that people would NOT want to skip.

Exactly...he could've written the song and given us the same information...but he could've done it...well...better.

Sondheim, LaChuisa, Guetell, Herman, Hammerstein, they're all SH*T!!!! But Stephen Schwartz now there is a conversation starter.
BSoBW2: I punched Sondheim in the face after I saw Wicked and said, "Why couldn't you write like that!?"

LaChuisa is alse very Sondheim like as a composer. Does anyone else NOT like LaCuisa?

i have the cast recording as well. i LOVE it to death. after seeing the show, (which was absolutely astonishing. in a good way), the orchestra seems smaller on the nbcr though.

I liked the production, but I really don't care for the new recording. It has a dry, untheatrical studio sound. It lacks the spaciousness and theatricality of the original Broadway cast recording or the London version, and as ponine mentioned, it somehow makes the large orchestra sound teeny. I'm thankful to have much more the the show's dance music, but I listened to the new Fiddler once, and I don't think I'll be returning to listen to it again.

I think Schwartz is my favorite composer on Broadway. The shows of his that I know are Pippin, Wicked, Godspell, Children of Eden, and then the music for Pocahontas, The Prince of Egypt, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. His Broadway work consists of glorious scores.

i have the NBCR and love it except for one thing: molina. he just doesnt have enough ooph to be tevye. i dont know at some points i like the more...naturalisatic approach to the character, but in most cases, i dont.
