If it works once, try again by tenor fanatic (Florida)  4 Stars
February 26, 2009
After the resounding success of "Fiddler on the Roof," Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock apparently decided that the formula of oppressed Jews in a historical setting was worth another try. Unfortunately, problems along the road led to a parting of the ways between the lyricist and the composer. Also, the replacement of director, choreographer, cast members, and of replacements gave the show a rocky beginning. The show ran for a respectable 505 performances, but still lost money.
Nonetheless, this is a very pleasing musical. I especially appreciated the clear diction of the performers, which made it easy to follow the story as I listened to the recording. While there are no real standout numbers, I found "He Tossed a Coin," "Sons," and "In My Own Lifetime" particularly enjoyable. And the lyrics of "I'm in Love, I'm in Love," almost a patter song, are very amusing.
One Amazon reviewer wrote, "If you saw the show, you need this recording." Whether or not you saw the show (I did not), this recording belongs in the collection of any fan of Broadway musicals.

In my own lifetime by Lee Ann,music lover (Middletown, OH USA) 4 Stars
March 30, 2002
This has to be one of my all time favorite cast recordings. Although as a Broadway musical it didnt have nearly the success of Fiddler it is non the less an excellent recording,and it did win at least TWO Tonys.(I understand the one that Hal Linden won was one of the reasons that he got the job in "Barney Miller".Of course the best number on the recording is "In my own lifetime",and "Sons" is just slightly chauvinistic but....Hal Linden is of course magical, Keene Curtis does how many roles and Paul Hecht as the oldest son steals the show in his number with Jill Clayburgh. I do know of one piece of music that was cut from the show that I would love to get my hands on,called "Its just a map". Well worth a listen!

Tevye had rich relatives! by loesser (colonia, nj United States) 4 Stars
February 21, 2002
Bock and Harnick may not have reached the heights they did in Fiddler but they have produced a forgotten treasure. The album is better than the show. The songs and emotions are clearer and more effective when you don't have to bother with the labored book which is heavy on European politics and 18th century bond trading. Hal Linden is in fine voice and surprisingly we even get to hear a young Jill Clayburgh vocalize.

The team of composer Jerry Bock and lyricist Sheldon Harnick came up with only six shows--but what shows! In addition to the phenomenally successful Fiddler on the Roof, aficionados usually gush about 1963's She Loves Me and 1959's Fiorello!. The latter turned a not particularly appetizing topic--the years leading to Fiorello LaGuardia's election as mayor of New York--into a great musical. (It even won the Pulitzer Prize for drama, only the third musical to do so.) Harnick and Bock's...
