Editorial Reviews
American Record Guide (Jack Sullivan)
"This collection of Tin Pan Alley, Broadway, ragtime, patriotic tunes, and other
turn-of-the-century New York genres is distinguished by its sumptuous musicality.
Richard Dowling eschews the punchy pseudo-piano roll approach used by so many
contemporary pianists in this material. His touch is smooth and graceful, his rolled
chords juicy, his tone never bangy. His rubato is free and stylish but not exaggerated.
Trills and other ornaments have a bell-like ring. This was recorded in Steinway Hall
and produced by the Museum of the City of New York; it has a warm ambiance that
matches Dowling's approach. This is an attractive love letter to old New York and an
excellent introduction to a vital aspect of American culture."
Roberta on the Arts (Roberta Zlokower)
"This solo piano CD by Richard Dowling is a fantastic trip down memory lane with
what could be silent film soundtracts, July 4th marching band music, vaudeville
flapper girl tunes, and song and dance fun in old New York saloons. Mr. Dowling
rolling rhythms."
