Amazon.com essential recording
The epic sweep of Ragtime is captured in its opening prologue, a nine-minute kaleidoscope of fictional characters mingling with historical figures from the early 20th century as originally captured in E.L. Doctorow's sprawling novel. As the story continues, we meet pianist Coalhouse Walker Jr. (Brian Stokes Mitchell) and his child's mother, Sarah (Audra McDonald), who has been taken in by a respectable family (including Marin Mazzie as Mother). Parallel story lines of the Latvian immigrant Tateh (Peter Friedman), the entertainer Evelyn Nesbit (Lynnette Perry), and even Harry Houdini (Jim Corti) and Emma Goldman (Judy Kaye) eventually mingle and merge. Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens (Once on This Island) mix marches, cakewalks, and of course ragtime to create a rich, compelling score, including Sarah's song to her baby, "Your Daddy's Son," her soaring duet with Coalhouse, "Wheels of a Dream," Mother's self-revealing "Back to Before," and numerous set pieces, all performed by a perfect cast. Ragtime was nominated for 12 Tony Awards in 1998, with wins for McDonald, original score, book, and orchestration. The CD also includes an eight-minute symphonic suite conducted by Paul Gemignani and a booklet with photos, full lyrics, and a history of how the score was written. Tragic, touching, and ultimately triumphant, Ragtime is an American classic. --David Horiuchi

Best musical ever! July 1, 2010
thea
We first saw Ragtime 10 years ago on Broadway and were absolutely knocked out by it. The sets, voices and music just wonderful - we actually wore out our original disc and now have purchased this replacement. So happy to have it again!
Ragtime was AWESOME!! June 19, 2010
John (Pittsburgh, PA)
I don't understand why this STILL isn't on Broadway, because as soon as i heard the first two tracks of this musical I was into it very much! I mean it was sooo sooo good from beginning to end. And I really liked how they even added the dialougue so you sort of knew the whole story line. I loved Ragtime!
No Wonder They revived RAGTIME THE MUSICAL May 14, 2010
Richard J. Smith
I actually became interested in RAGTIME THE MUSICAL when I was informed that a friend of mine (Christiane Noll) was performing in the female lead role of "mother" in the broadway revival. I was not able to find the cast recording at my local music stores and so I went to Amazon.com hoping to find it available in good condition at a reasonable price. I did, and I purchased it. It arrived in excellent condition and in a timely fashion. And, once I listenened to the double disc recording the reason for the revival of this musical became immediatly appearant to me. It is a fantastic and poignant musical and deserves it's 2010 Tony nomination for "best musical revival." Also by the way,does Christiane Noll deserve her Tony nomination and Drama Desk nominations for "best performance by a leading actress in a musical."

I've purchased the Ragtime music cd because my local theater of which I'm involved will be putting it on next year and I wanted to learn the music. It's absolutely great !!
Ragtime - Concept album January 30, 2010
Robert F. Klaas Sr. (Phoenix, AZ USA)
Excellent recording of most of the music from the final broadway production, still 1-2 years in the future.
Includes the song "That's The Show Biz" which never made it to final broadway production and "Wheels of
A Dream" and "Finale" has slight difference, meaning that in this version the final notes are held a bit longer and sound a bit more stirring than final production. If you love the broadway production, this will be interesting to hear the show as it was making it's way to broadway.
