content: This CD does not do Mr. Rifkin justice at all. It sounds like a cheap "MIDI" version of Rikin's playing - like a cheap $50 electric keyboard. Gone are the acoustic sound that can be heard on the concert grand that Rifkin's original recordings are played on. You're better off buying the "UN-mastered" original CD from Nonesuch Records. This is an insult to one of the greatest Joplin interpreters.
