5.0 out of 5 stars Little known and deserve to be better known, January 23, 1999

Not all the little girls studying piano at the turn of the century played "In a Rose Garden." This was the first, and perhaps only, tribute to the female composers of the ragtime era. Many of them had interesting lives to go with their interesting music. May Aufderheide in particular deserves an entire album to herself. Highly recommended for ragtime fans, and thanks to Max Morath for resurrecting these neglected gems.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an outstanding ragtime CD, March 5, 1999

This CD is great ragtime with typical Max Morath flawless technique. His piano dominates the CD with some nice passages by the quintet as well. He plays very interesting rags on this CD.

If you are into ragtime at all, you are very likely to enjoy this album. On it, as the title implies, Max Morath plays rags written by women, many of them Scott Joplin's contemporaries. Max Morath is a sensitive and highly capable interpreter of classic rags. For some reason not clear, Morath decided to include a guitarist and a cello player on this date. (?) No matter; it's a minor distraction. Most of these rags are very good. Some of them, I now realize, turn up on later dixieland recordings by musicians like Bunk Johnson, suggesting that other musicians thought highly of these rags. As well they might.
