Music reviews of Scott Joplin, King of Ragtime Writers (from Classic Piano Rolls)

Music Review: Nice CD - But played a little too fast
Rating: 4 Stars

The piano rolls featured on this CD date from the turn of last century and the 1960's. The selections are good. Just the right thing to spark some interest in Ragtime music for my 12 year-old son. (It did!) I was hoping the selections would be more faithful to the period. Perhaps they are! But, while purists will enjoy the true-to-the-scoreness of the tracks they will also be disappointed in many of the tempos.

One reviewer noted that the songs sounded mechanical. I agree, some do. The end of Maple Leaf Rag, for instance, culminates in such a frenetic pace I thought I was listening to a hurdy-gurdy race.

We also purchased The Complete Music Of Scott Joplin. This is a 4 CD set. There is a lot of music for the money. John Arpin plays with lots of vituosity and embelishments. But 4 Cds are less convenient.

I do enjoy a liveliness to my ragtime, and this did inspire my son to play a couple of pieces so I am very happy.
