I just got a Ragtime Scott Joplin collection. Most of the pieces are fairly decent renditions, but they butchered "The Entertainer" with a horribly tinny synthesized honky-tonk.
Another set is on the way. It's a complete collection played by John Arpin. I didn't like the Joshua Rifkin renditions. All the spirit was lost in those. My favorite remains the CD on which there are twelve recordings of Joplin himself.
