4.0 out of 5 stars My wife adores Dick Hyman 15 Mar 2013
By Plus ça change
Format:Audio CD
Sunny Sunday mornings. The kids are at their grandparents', the working week is in the eternal tomorrow, and it's just croissants, the Sunday papers and Radio 4. But once in a full moon my wife will shout: "It's ragtime!".

Nothing for it at this point but for some serious Dick Hyman. What can you say? A penetrating rhythm and a light-fingered touch are just what the doctor (my wife) ordered.

'Slow The Flow' and 'Man Rag' are unfortunately missing from this sterling collection, but we usually find that 'Something Doing' and 'The Strenuous Life' followed by 'The Cascades' does the trick. Always ending with 'Swipesy' of course!

Skip past 'Original Rags' though. A bit stiff is what I'd say, maybe should be consigned to the dustbin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dick Hyman has captored the essence of Scott Joplin... 12 Oct 2000
By aaron - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Jazz arranger and stride pianist Dick Hyman has captured the essence of Scott Joplin, playing such classics as "Maple Leaf Rag" and "The Entertainer," as well as many lesser known but still highly enjoyable tunes. Just like Joplin would say never play a rag too fast, Hyman plays at the perfect tempo, never too fast. Hyman proves not only to be a fine stride painist but a superb ragtime painist. Although there is no improvisation here, ragtime is completely written out, there is plenty of syncopation and joyous sounds here to keep the jazz collector happy. this CD is highly recomended as a great introduction to the music of Scott Joplin and the playing of Dick Hyman.

Also try Dick Hyman's tribute CD to Fats Waller. And if you like Ragtime don't miss out on the incredible Paragon Ragtime Orchestra which re-creates bands like Arthur Pryor's Orchestra from the ragtime era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shut up and listen 13 Dec 2008
By Eric C. Sedensky - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm not going to get into the argument about whether Scott Joplin should be played fast or slow, and which rags are at the roots of jazz and which are just hanging off the branches, and all that. All I'm going to say is that Dick Hyman is a big name, big talent, and it shows on this recording. Joplin's music is sometimes easy to gloss over, but Hyman gives it the attention it deserves, and, I feel, his interpretations are as good as any and probably better than most. This is a recording that is worthy of study, but you'll likely end up like me: just listening to it because it is so good and entertaining. All the familiar Joplin works, Maple Leaf Rag, Peacherine Rag, Palm Leaf Rag, The Entertainer, are here, as well as some less familiar songs, such as A Breeze from Alabama. There is almost an hour's worth of music here and while it isn't remastered or anything, the sound is excellent and well up to the RCA Victor standard of excellence. I would have preferred more thorough liner notes, but there is still plenty of information here. Ultimately, it comes down to the music and performer, both of which are top notch on this recording. Don't worry about whether this is "authentically true to the composer's intention" or not. Joplin isn't turning in his grave, so you might as well just sit back and enjoy this great work of art.

Dick Hyman's interpretations of Joplin are my favorite so far. Looking forward to hearing the interpretations of upcoming ragtime musicians.
