Product Description
(3-CD set) Scott Joplin (c. 1867-1917) remains one of America's most important and original composers, renowned for his piano rags and ragtime waltzes. As the "King of Ragtime Writers," his mastery of the form is evident in such works as "Maple Leaf Rag," "The Entertainer," "Gladiolus Rag," "Solace," and many others that combine infectious rhythms with exquisite melodies. His piano works are at times overwhelmingly joyous and at times deeply poignant. In celebration of the 150th anniversary of Joplin's birth, this all-new recording by pianist Richard Dowling features definitive performances of his complete piano works, including all collaborations. Recorded on a Steinway concert grand in sparkling 24-bit sound, Joplin's music emerges fresh, lively, and most importantly expressive, revealing the full depth of the composer's genius. The 3-CD set includes a deluxe 76-page book with extensive, insightful notes by musicologist Bryan S. Wright and color reproductions of all original sheet music covers. Over 200 minutes of music.
