A 19th-century frenzy revives, ragtime captured in the digital age
A masterpiece in which Joshua Rifkin gives a noble artistic quality to the rhythms left behind by Scott Joplin.
The clear sound image of early digital recordings vividly portrays the bouncy rhythms and melancholic melodies characteristic of ragtime. This approach shines through, maintaining the dignity of truly worthy classical music, rather than bar music.
