Album Review: William Bolcom’s Complete Rags — Fantastically Inventive and Rigorous

This is the definitive recording of William Bolcom’s rags, complete or excerpted: a triumph for the pianist and the composer – as well as a grandly spirited, accessible, inventive journey for any who care to join them on it.

Classical Music Review: Osvaldo Golijov’s “Nazareno”

Nazareno is bright, often joyous, and easy on the ears. That ought to count for something.
