Music reviews of Joplin: Piano Rags
Music Review: Chopinesque Joplin
Rating: 4 Stars
Roy Eaton plays these pieces with much style and generally much vigor. Though often times the approach reminds one of recorded performances of Chopin waltzes or mazurkas, the beat is never lost: Eaton is faithful to the spirit of ragtime.
The works present on this disc are perceptively chosen. I believe this is enough ragtime to satisfy most anyone. Joplin occasionally hearkens back to earlier American composers such as Louis Moreau Gottschalk (particularly in The Chrysanthemum). Aside from the famed Maple Leaf Rag and The Entertainer, other works give equal pleasure, such as Original Rags, The Search-Light Rag and Solace (A Mexican Serenade that can be called nothing other than truly American).
These Joplin Rags are enjoyable from any perspective. After dipping into this set or one like it, I recommend looking into older American composers such as Gottschalk.
