Joshua Rifkin is a musical polymath - a Bach scholar and a Ragtime specialist. His performances of Ragtime are gentle and inviting and in this wonderful recording of Rags and Tangos (made in 1990 for Decca) he treats us to a Scott Joplin-free exploration of music from this genre.

An admirer wrote the following on the Amazon website and it is as good a summary as any of the disc: "Rifkin (so famous for his recordings of Scott Joplin) turns his elegant and insightful musicianship to the music of two of the other great Classic Ragtime composers (James Scott and Joseph Lamb), and the fine tangos of Brazilian composer Ernesto Nazareth. As always, he respects the scores, playing them as written, with joy and attention to the deeper aspects contained in their brief spans. Of particular note to me are the slow rags by Scott (some of the finest of all rag creations), and the exquisite slower tangos of Nazareth. Rifkin sees through the ephemeral nature of these works into the real substance present that makes these works more than "tin pan alley" throw-aways. The recorded sound is spacious and balanced."
