Featuring a sweeping score by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, a stirring book by Terrence McNally, and lush original orchestrations by William David Brohn—all of whom won Tony Awards for their work—Ragtime weaves fictional narratives with real historical figures and events, creating a rich tapestry that blurs the line between personal struggle and national identity, making history feel both intimate and epic.

The album is produced by three-time GRAMMY^® Award winner Sean Patrick Flahaven, four-time GRAMMY nominees Ahrens and Flaherty. The album was recorded, edited, and mixed by GRAMMY winner Ian Kagey and mastered by multiple GRAMMY winner Oscar Zambrano with art direction by Derek Bishop.

“It’s been one of the great honors of my career to know and work with Lynn and Stephen, so I leapt at the chance to collaborate with them to record Ragtime, a score I have loved since I first heard the concept album nearly 30 years ago,” said Flahaven, Chief Theatricals Executive of Concord. “This truly extraordinary production, with its cast of 37 and orchestra of 28, creates an astonishing sound that we rarely get to hear anymore.”

“We’re well aware of the resources needed to make a recording of this size, and we’re so grateful to everyone who helped make it happen,” said Ahrens and Flaherty. “Capturing these extraordinary performances at this particular moment in time feels like catching lightning in a bottle.”
