Ive always known that the Rifkin recording's were the best of anything out there.
the tone, the tempo the the skill of Joshua playing them are the way Joplin played them in the early 1900's
the other group that plays them like the origanal is the New England Conservatory of Music,,,IE the Red Back Book in 73.

I have this record. Is this a recording of the music directly from player to computer or is it a tape recorder? It sounds a little enhanced.
-
Awesome! More rags!
-
very nice
-
They are treated as classics, as they should be.
-
Hey, I've got that album.
-
To me he was certainly the best, some doubt him but I am sure if Scott Joplin heard these few recordings, he would't.
At last Rifkin followed the musical intepretation and notation as Joplin would have wished, but I wonder if Joplin played on a piano so baby grand as this ?

To Set Record straight--- Joshua Rifkin based this recording on Joplin's own School of Ragtime Publihed in 1908 by Joplin HIMSELF---and to a lesser extent on Joplin's Piano rolls in which Joplin made slight embellishments to HIS own Rags in 1916--Joplin wrote in the School of Ragtime that "careless or imperfect playing will destroy the "JOPLIN RAGS"--Rifkin took his playing style directly from Joplin's directions--that's why The Rifkin Recordings are the best selling of all the Joplin recordings

no, it is Joshua Rifkin. he made this recording in the early 70s and they are still considered to be the best recordings of Joplin's music ever. This was the first time someone had taken the approach to recording ragtime as 'classical' music - playing it exactly as written. he later released 2 other albums Piano Rags by Scott Jpplin Vol. 2&3, and played on the album "Digital Ragtime"
