Reviews

  • “Embellishments” are not flaws.

    By MessengerBoy
    One reviewer said this is good because the pianist plays straight from the printed music and piano rolls. Just wanted to say that properly played ragtime piano demands embellishments and improvisation. Joplin played it that way and that’s what he intended. Now, playing the exact notes from a music sheet or piano roll is just fine, but don’t shy away from hearing ragtime played the way it was intended. It’s alive. And truth be told, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, and those “classical” guys were not above improvising on the fly either.
  • Straight off of a Player Piano

    Three out of five stars. Like an earlier reviewer mentioned, it certainly doesn't have any artistic embellishments. His playing almost sounds robotic, like it was pulled straight off a player piano. Not a whole lot of soul to this one, but the pieces are technically perfect. These aren't tracks I would put on repeat in the background of your living room, however. They're a little too cold to enjoy over and over while doing, I dunno, whatever it is you might do. Playing Yahtzee or something.
  • Best quality and selection!

    This is the Scott Joplin album to buy. It is all Joplin, as he surely intended his music to be heard. There is no interjection of extraneous or 'artistic' embellishments; it is right off the printed music and piano rolls, with the touch of the expert pianist. He does play some of the music a little faster than Joplin intended, but most everyone does, and that is something hard to resist. Still, I would call this a very good, maybe the best, tribute to one of America's first musical geniuses.
