Our Take

In a world filled with dull and repetitive music, Alexander Peskanov brings a refreshing burst of energy with his album, "Joplinrags." This collection of Joplin rags is a toe-tapping, finger-snapping journey through the history of ragtime music.

Peskanov's mastery of the piano is on full display here, as he effortlessly glides through each intricate rag with finesse and precision. From the lively "Maple Leaf Rag" to the melancholic "Solace," Peskanov's interpretations are nothing short of brilliant.

What sets "Joplinrags" apart from other ragtime albums is Peskanov's unique ability to infuse each piece with his own personality. His playful yet virtuosic technique shines through in every note, making for an engaging and dynamic listening experience.

While some may argue that ragtime is a genre of the past, Peskanov proves that it is alive and well in the hands of a master musician. "Joplinrags" is a must-listen for anyone looking to inject a bit of excitement into their music collection.

So put on your dancing shoes, grab a partner, and get ready to be transported back to the ragtime heyday with Alexander Peskanov's "Joplinrags." This album is a true gem in the world of classical music and a testament to the enduring power of ragtime.
