Waldo's Ragtime Orchestra - Ragtime Classics Volume 2
Review by Michael Haruo Nakashima
Waldo's Ragtime Orchestra has released an album titled "Ragtime Classics" that is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for lovers of ragtime music. The album features a collection of classic ragtime tunes that have been given a new lease of life by the talented musicians of the orchestra.
The album opens with the iconic "Maple Leaf Rag" composed by Scott Joplin, which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The musicians have done an excellent job of capturing the essence of the ragtime era, with their lively and energetic performances.
Other standout tracks on the album include "The Entertainer" and "The Easy Winners," both also composed by Joplin. The orchestra's rendition of these classics is both faithful to the original compositions while also adding their own unique flair.
The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument clearly defined and balanced in the mix. The sound quality is also excellent, with a warm and rich tone that complements the music perfectly.
