CD Reviews

More Than Excellent

Bird | New York | 08/15/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I had previously purchased a Scott Joplin CD and was disappointed by the dull quality and dispirited playing by the artist. This CD more than makes up for it. The music was beautifully performed and the recording was very clear. Every piece was perfect!"

Scott and I Smile

Donald H. Davis | Seminole, Florida via New York City | 08/01/2007

"Rich, yet not cloying

Aggressive, yet reflective

Bouncy, yet wistfully romantic

Robert Strickland transports the soul of Scott Joplin's Ragtime

Scott and I smile.

"

What the heck???

David A. Silva | Elk Grove, CA United States | 03/19/2007

"Music is great, as is the playing. However, the last song is not Magnetic Rag but rather the same version of Maple Leaf Rag heard earlier on the album.

What is with that?"
