Bolcom - Piano Rags
William Bolcom, John Murphy

Albany Records, 1999

Bolcom - Piano Rags
Better to buy the sheet music to go along with this to realize how complicated these are to play. Murphy has that special 'bent' to play the details - there are no shortcuts in this set..

Deutsche Grammophon, 2000

Sometimes I forget to breathe-this CD is so mind-blowing! This is the type of CD that you can't help but wave your hands around pretending to conduct the song!........ Ok.... Deep breathes.......o-o...I have to calm down! Now this CD features not just the best ...
  
  











  



  
World's Greatest Piano Rags
Eubie Blake, William Bolcom, ...

Klavier, 2004

wonderful collection
This is a great collection of rags of various styles. The Graceful Ghost is just a wonderful flowing rag bordering on classical, and at the other end is the very fun Entertainer's Rag. Richard Bowling plays them all well. The three Zez Confrey cuts are not to my ...

After The Ball plus Highlights from Vaudeville
Joan Morris & William Bolcom

A triumph!
Thirty years after this wonderful collection appeared, it still warms hearts and wets eyes across generations. This classic recording is likely to be around forever, and it certainly deserves to be. Joan Morris provides full emotional commitment along with smart style ...
  
  











  



  
Cornet Favorites
Jean-Baptiste Arban, Herbert L. Clarke, ...

Nonesuch, 1992

starting over
This is a very good cd for a trumpet player. Many songs of Herbert L. Clarke and Jean Babtiste Arban are there in their familiar versions. If you get this cd, you ought to get Cornet Favorites also. The solos on both cd's stick to the versions found in Arban's Complete ...
  
  











  



  
DEBUT ~ Nathan Gunn - "American Anthem" from Ragtime to Art Song / Kevin Murphy
Nathan Gunn, Kevin Murphy

EMI Classics, 1999

Old American Songs
Fantastic compilation of Old American Songs! This album was recorded about a decade ago, today - Nathan Gunn is a well known and respected opera singer, a title he truly deserves. You might check out his other album - John Adams: Shaker Loops; The ...
  
  











  



  
Moonlight Bay: Songs as Is Songs as Was
Carrie Jacobs Bond, David Braham, ...

Albany Records, 1999

Joan Morris and William Bolcom return to their roots
Back in 1974, mezzo-soprano Joan Morris, and her husband, William Bolcom, recorded "After the Ball," a collection of turn-of-the-century popular songs, some of which hadn't been recorded since the early part of the century, if ever. Now, after bringing their talents ...
  
  











  



  
William Bolcom: Music for Two Pianos
William Bolcom, Elizabeth Bergmann, ...

Naxos American, 2005

America's Musical Magpie
William Bolcom is one of the most innately talented composers working today. His enormous output varies wildly in quality and style -- rather like that of his erstwhile composition teacher, Darius Milhaud -- but when he is at the top of his form, which is often, he ...
  
  











  



  
William Bolcom - Songs of Innocence and of Experience (William Blake) / Slatkin, University of Michigan ...
William Bolcom, Christine Brewer

Naxos American, 2004

An Excellent Example of Modern American Composition
I had the double pleasure of hearing a performance of this live in Ann Arbor AND purchasing the CD for subsequent enjoyment. Bolcolm's composition, though somewhat dated (in the notes above you can see that this was actually written some time back) is still very ...
  
  











  



  
Love Blows as the Wind Blows: English and American Songs / Jonathan Lemalu
Jonathan Lemalu, Roger Quilter

EMI Classics, 2005

Promises Kept
Some months back Jonathan Lemalu was introduced to us with a collection of Opera Arias, a recording that showed great promise of an important voice but also one that raised questions about the durability of the vocal technique. He sounded promising: with this ...
  
  











  



  
Carioca: Songs Of Vincent Youmans, Vol. 2
Vincent Youmans, William Bolcom, ...

Arabesque Recordings, 1997

Interesting
Vincent Youmans was a great popular-song composer of the first half of the 20th century. When his widow was moving house to Florida, she donated a stash of acetate discs (of her husband recording/composing at his piano) to archivists. Some of these unknown songs ...

Miramar Sinfonietta

Albany Records, 2002
  
  











  



  
Songs of America
Samuel Adler, Milton Babbitt, ...

Nonesuch, 1992

a beautiful rendition of 20th Century American Song
This is a great album. It spans the spectrum of 20th Century American music from the tonality and romanticism of Stephen Foster to the experimentality of John Cage. Jan DeGaetani and Gilbert Kalish, with their understanding and sensitivity to the music of their time, ...
  
  











  



  
Bolcom - A View from the Bridge / Josephson, Malfitano, Turay, Lyric Opera of Chicago, D. Russell Davies
William Bolcom, Dennis Russell Davies, ...

New World Records, 2001

A great modern opera
I would like to put in a few good words for this opera, which has received some negative and lukewarm reviews on here on Amazon.com. This is a tense psychological drama set to brilliantly crafted music. Bolcom's music is a cornucopia of American styles and also takes ...
