Music reviews of Songs from Ragtime - The Musical (1996 Concept Album)
Music Review: Ragtime - Concept album
Rating: 5 Stars
Excellent recording of most of the music from the final broadway production, still 1-2 years in the future.
Includes the song "That's The Show Biz" which never made it to final broadway production and "Wheels of
A Dream" and "Finale" has slight difference, meaning that in this version the final notes are held a bit longer and sound a bit more stirring than final production. If you love the broadway production, this will be interesting to hear the show as it was making it's way to broadway.
Description of Songs from Ragtime - The Musical (1996 Concept Album)
The epic sweep of Ragtime is captured in its opening prologue, a nine-minute kaleidoscope of fictional characters mingling with historical figures from the early 20th century as originally captured in E.L. Doctorow's sprawling novel. As the story continues, we meet pianist Coalhouse Walker Jr. (Brian Stokes Mitchell) and his child's mother, Sarah (Audra McDonald), who has been taken in by a respectable family (including Marin Mazzie as Mother). Parallel story lines of the Latvian immigrant Tateh (Peter Friedman), the entertainer Evelyn Nesbit (Lynnette Perry), and even Harry Houdini (Jim Corti) and Emma Goldman (Judy Kaye) eventually mingle and merge. Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens (Once on This Island) mix marches, cakewalks, and of course ragtime to create a rich, compelling score, including Sarah's song to her baby, "Your Daddy's Son," her soaring duet with Coalhouse, "Wheels of a Dream," Mother's self-revealing "Back to Before," and numerous set pieces, all performed by a perfect cast. Ragtime was nominated for 12 Tony Awards in 1998, with wins for McDonald, original score, book, and orchestration. The CD also includes an eight-minute symphonic suite conducted by Paul Gemignani and a booklet with photos, full lyrics, and a history of how the score was written. Tragic, touching, and ultimately triumphant, Ragtime is an American classic. --David HoriuchiGeneral CDs
