5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Timing, April 10, 1999

This recording is one I play over and over. Thompson has a great feel for ragtime music. This is probably the best album of Joplin available.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best performance of Scott Joplin's work., February 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Thompson Plays Scott Joplin (Audio CD)

I'm sure Mr. Thompson is a fine pianist, but on this CD, he seems a bit ham-fisted. I have the uneasy feeling that his timing is just slightly off on many selections, and he seems to make a number of blunders on each piece.
