5.0 out of 5 stars
A muscular, vibrant score with many musical shadings,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rothschilds: A Musical (1970 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)
This is the most "through-composed" of the musicals of Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, as befits the 18th/19th century European setting. Hal Linden's Tony Award-winning performance comes through loud and clear as the partriarch of the family, as does fellow Tony-winner Keene Curtis in a variety of roles. "Sons," "Rothschild and Sons," "Pleasure and Privilege" are standouts. A neglected gem of the musical theater.

Tevye had rich relatives!,

This review is from: The Rothschilds: A Musical (1970 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)
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.

In my own lifetime,
By Lee Ann,music lover "music lover" (Middletown, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rothschilds: A Musical (1970 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)
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!
