Music reviews of The Best of Scott Joplin

Music Review: Great music, poor recording
Rating: 2 Stars

Scott Joplin was a master, his music depicts the 20's era wonderfully. I was sadly disappointed, however, with this collection. The recording is obviously modern (I could give it grace if it was an old recording) and the microphone was evidently not modulated enough, there is an annoying fuzzy sound whenever the piano gets at all too loud. Also there are artificial echo/twang-reverb effects that are just barely noticeable, and no doubt intended to compliment the style, but it comes off feeling more like it's approaching canned music.
The music itself, while brilliant, is very repetitive in style. Be prepared to listen hard to be able to distinguish one song from another.
