About this product

The album's 15 tracks included works by William Bolcom, Max Morath, Trebor Jay Tichenor, Terry Waldo, Hal Isbitz, Donald Ashwander, William Albright, and others, in dynamic performances by virtuoso pianist Matthew de Lacey Davidson that highlighted the rhythmic and expressive possibilities in modern ragtime. The album was a critical success, and it set the stage for recordings of new ragtime by other artists in the years that followed. In celebration of the album's 30th anniversary, Rivermont is pleased to present this deluxe collector's edition including more than 70 minutes of newly recorded music, expanding the scope of the original album to include works from 1960-2021 and adding pieces by Tom Shea, Peter Lundberg, Robin Frost, Ross Petot, Galen Wilkes, Bob Darch, and others.

Alpha continues to explore it's catalogue and this year again offers a wide variety of combinations. After a box assembling the gems of the Baroque era (Masters of the Baroque - Alpha 372), the piano is now given pride of place. The box set Masters of the Piano brings together 10 albums in which great contemporary interpreters (Nelson Goerner, Alexander Lonquich, François-Frédéric Guy, Eric Le Sage, Edna Stern, Anna Vinnitskaya) retrace three centuries of creation on the piano, from Bach to Shostakovich, by way of Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Liszt, Chopin, Brahms, Rachmaninoff and Debussy. The piano will also be at the heart of a 7- box set devoted to Alexei Lubimov's recordings. Fortepiano, piano, prepared piano... The Russian musician has distinguished himself in every repertoire. Finally, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of Beethoven, the Beethoven Rediscovered box highlights 16 albums that offer a chance to rediscover his symphonies, concertos and sonatas on period instruments, the fortepiano, etc. Album Tracks 1.
