Scott Joplin: Piano Rags / Joshua Rifkin Classical Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Rifkin and Joplin
To hear Joplin on a good piano played with sensitivity and consumate technique is a joy and a revelation. Of all the performers of ragtime, Rifkin is the only man to play this music with the respect it deserves. Too many play Joplin on a rinky-tink piano with little ball-peen hammers, not to mention trap drums and banjos. (One can imagine the straw boaters on their pointed little heads.)
Dammit, Joplin was a real musician. He deserves the attention of a real musician on a first class instrument. Rifkin is the one.

An inspired performance of some inspired compositions, incorporating the best of modern technology and some excellent notes by the performer, Joshua Rifkin, who obviously understands and enjoys Scott Joplin and his music. What more could anyone ask for ?

Today the most recognition the Animals get is "House of the Rising Sun" being played on oldies radio, but in the mid-1960s they were a powerful part of the British Invasion, often reckoned on a par with the Beatles, the Stones, and the Who. Like those bands, the Animals had strong roots in blues and R&B, but, in their original incarnation, they stayed closer to those roots than their peers did. This definitive compilation, masterfully assembled by the ABKCO think tank of Teri Landi and Jody Klein, shows the tough, uncompromising use to which the Animals put their American influences. John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" is recast as a raw garage rocker glazed with Alan Price's sinister organ riffs, and the aforementioned "House of the Rising Sun" is transformed from a traditional folk lament to an urgent, ominous piece of churning tumult.
Of course, the group skillfully expanded ...

With their beautiful harmony vocals and gentle melodies, Peter, Paul & Mary were the most popular folk act of the 1960s. While Bob Dylan was unquestionably the genre's most influential and revered performer by the mid-1960s, it was Peter Yarrow, Noel Paul Stookey, and Mary Travers who helped him to reach a larger audience with their accessible '63 renditions of his "Blowin' in the Wind" and "Don't Think Twice, ...

Jose Bonet is a pianist and composer with a solid artistic talent, which can be appreciated both in his live performances and in his soundtracks. The author of over forty piano works, he has known how to develop his own style, between New Instrumental Music and the most romantic side of Classical Music, which places him as a true heir of the trends of composers headed by such people as Max Steiner, Alfred Newman or Victor Young, who tended a bridge between melodic Classicism and Cinema, building the language of symphonic soundtracks. The Classical background that Bonet has (he studied music notation and piano at ...
