Scott Joplin: Ragtime Piano Gems

16 of the best known and loved piano works by Scott Joplin, the King of Ragtime. "Bolcom is known as a pianist who made excellent LPs of ragtime, Gershwin, and several types of American 'vernacular' music. A composer himself, he brings a great understanding of the music of Joplin. This album illustrates how adventurous this creator could be and also provides a near-perfect example of ragtime - a little masterpiece" (Gramophone). (Alto)
