艺人介绍
b. 22 April 1944, New York, New York, USA. A pianist, musicologist, arranger and conductor, Rifkin was instrumental in reviving interest in the important composer of ragtime music, Scott Joplin. During the 60s, Rifkin studied at the Juilliard School of Music, New York University, Gottingen University and Princeton; and worked on composition with Karl-Heinz Stockhausen in Darmstadt. At the same time, he played ragtime and piano jazz, and recorded for Elektra Records as a member of the Even Dozen Jug Band. Also for Elektra, he conducted The Baroque Beatles, classical-style versions of John Lennon and Paul McCartney songs. He also arranged and conducted Wildflowers, and other recordings for Judy Collins. In 1970 he was appointed Professor of Music at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, and musical director of the Elektra ancillary, Nonesuch Records. The following year, the Lincoln Centre produced the highly successful An Evening With Scott Joplin, at which Rifkin was a featured artist. From 1970-74, he released a series of three Piano Rags By Scott Joplin, which won Stereo Review and Billboard awards as Record Of The Year, and coincided with the release of the movie The Sting (1973), whose soundtrack featured ‘The Entertainer’ and several other Joplin tunes, arranged by another Juilliard ‘old boy’, Marvin Hamlisch. The movie won seven Academy Awards, and, together with Rifkin’s albums and the work of Gunther Schuller’s New England Conservatory Jazz Repertory Orchestra And Ragtime Ensemble, sparked off a nationwide revival of Joplin’s works. Subsequently, Rifkin worked a good deal in the classical field, conducting concerts and releasing several albums. He was also at the forefront of the move to revitalize vintage recordings of ragtime music by the digital process.

- @Speakeasy Radio(细声电台,细说音乐故事.)：一位美国的指挥家\钢琴家\音乐学家Joshua Rifkin，从1970年开始，先后为Nonesuch录制了三CD的乔普林作品的唱片《Piano Rags》。不同于爵士的大量即兴，他弹奏的音乐都是被写下来的。这一张专辑销量超过百万，成为当时销量最好的唱片，还曾经在1971年获得了格莱美奖的提名。 一期Ragtime专栏： Ragtime鉴赏大歌单： https://www.xiami.com/collect/395759770

- @西点豆(语言的尽头是音乐)：60年代中期，人们对音乐发展的逆转产生了极大的兴趣，Joshua Rifkin，一位受过古典音乐训练的钢琴手当时正在纽约Elektra唱片公司工作，当公司的老板杰克.霍尔兹曼建议Rifkin和他们的乐队用巴罗克音乐风格演奏the Beatles的音乐，说不定能引起知识分子阶层的购买兴趣。于是《巴罗克the Beatles》（The Baroque Beatles Book ）开创了一直延续到今天的地下音乐风格。特别是有些用弦乐装备起来的如“克罗诺斯”（Kronos）、“格林弦乐四重奏组”（Greene String Quartet）、“巴拉内斯库四重奏组”（Balanescu Quartet），他们的半调被Jimi Hendrix、Guns & Roses和Kraftwerk改编成适合自己的作品。
