4.0 out of 5 stars Distinguished renditions, on the finest piano, October 25, 2004

David B "Piano David" (GOUROCK, Renfrewshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marches, Waltzes & Rags of Scott Joplin (Audio CD)
The piano used for this CD is a Bosendorfer Imperial Grand, and it's pleasing to think of Joplin's music being performed by a Professor of Music on this Austrian Emperor of pianos!

Listen to the low note at the end of Augustan Club Waltz to hear a meaty sound that no other piano can produce.

These are solid, musical, very listenable performances, faithful to the music "as wrote", and really this CD belongs in the collection of anyone interested in Joplin's music.

Sometimes I feel that the left hand is perhaps a little 'light', but perhaps that's just a quibble.

The recording of the Bosendorfer here has a warm, slightly 'forward' sound that is very different from the slightly detached or recessed sound of the (still excellent) 1970s Rifkin recordings on Nonesuch.
