Music reviews of Complete Rags
Music Review: PURE PIANO JOPLIN
Rating: 5 Stars
This is delightful listening. All 34 pieces are pure piano Joplin rag the way it was meant to be played. We got this set for one of our sons who requested it as a learning aid: he wanted to be selected as pianist for a college theater performance. It must have worked, because he got the job! He gave it back to us recently, so, 10 years down the road we listened to all of it for the first time. Don't expect to hear music such as Hamlisch's sountrack of "THE STING" - Joplin didn't write for orchestration, so any of his pieces you might hear with accompaniment are adaptations/interpretations. All of Joplin's rhythm and tone bloom beautifully and perfectly on piano alone.
Joplin was awarded a posthumous Pulitzer in 1976, poor reward for the man who revolutionized American popular music and set much of the foundation of American jazz. This compilation rightfully opens with his most successful 1899 piece "Maple Leaf Rag", which was the first instrumental to sell over one million copies of sheet music - imagine that, more sheet music sold than Mozart! But do listen through the entire set, and you will hear an incredible range of mood and tone. It isn't just ragtime - it's the root of modern American popular music.
Pianist and music professor William Albright was a composer and celebrated organist. He was also a ragtime enthusiast, happily for those who love this music. His untimely death in 1998 was a setback for fans who awaited his concert tours and newest compositions.
