I bought this album because I wanted to pick and choose from all of Joplin's piano rags to use as background music for an animated Power Point Presentation I was making for my business. But, apart from that, I must say that I really like John Arpin's interpretations of Joplin's works. First of all, he doesn't play the rags too fast. Joplin never intended his rags to be played at the breakneck speed so many pianists use. Also, he employs ritardando and accelerando at appropriate places, making his performances more interesting than those who think ragtime should be played as if a metronome was ticking. I highly recommend this album for anyone interested in both high quality and enjoyable performances of Joplin's piano rags. There is nothing about this album that I don't like.
Love Scott Joplin Piano Music. His music comes alive on this complete set of his piano music. This collection is a super find. I'm throughly enjoying the CD's. Great Buy!!
