Fiddler On The Roof (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

The original soundtrack to the 1971 film Fiddler on the Roof was released by United Artists Records on August 24, 1971. The album contains popular songs from the musical including "Sunrise, Sunset", "If I Were a Rich Man", "Matchmaker" and "Tradition" sung by the film's cast, which includes Topol and Norma Crane. The music is arranged and conducted by John Williams featuring violinist Isaac Stern. The cassette and 8 track tape issues of the album contain two instrumental tracks, "Entr'act" and "The Pogrom" not included on the original LP. Billboard reviewed the album in its issue from 23 October 1971, writing: "The score to this [...] filmusical has been enlarged into a two-record set by rich, extended arrangements of the popular score, with guest violinist Isaac Stern featured in the instrumental segments. The score is faithful to the original..." The album peaked at number 30 on the U.S. Billboard Top LPs chart for two consecutive weeks in January 1972.
