Editorial Reviews

This second volume of William Albright's Joplin recordings includes some rags and some other forms, such as marches and waltzes. Joplin wrote well in these forms too, though his early Crush Collision March (depicting a train wreck) is amusingly naïve. While these pieces aren't the best-known Joplin, some of them such as the gorgeous waltz Bethena and the Sunflower Slow Drag deserve to be in the Joplin pantheon. As on Volume 1, Joplin: Rags, Albright plays this music with charm, humor, and insight; he knows where the music comes from and he doesn't try to inflate it or vulgarize it. --Leslie Gerber
