Info for Bolcom: The Complete Rags

Yet another unmissable release from Marc-André Hamelin. From the easy-going elegance of Tabby Cat Walk to the high spirits of Eubie’s Luckey Day (and the altogether wilder antics of Brass Knuckles), William Bolcom’s lifelong and affectionate homage to―and continuation of―this archetypal American genre is a guaranteed winner.

"most of the time Hamelin inhabits the spirit of the music, which has more variety than you might expect: there’s not a dud among the 27 tracks…A clear picture of an essential chapter in American music." (BBC Music Magazine)

"This collection transmits the composer’s joy and fascination with a music that should appeal to almost everybody. Hamelin’s recording should be treasured by those interested in American music." (Fanfare)

Marc-Andre Hamelin, piano
