About this album
Marvin Hamlisch’s The Sting soundtrack turned Scott Joplin’s ragtime into a 1970s phenomenon. Adapted and conducted by Hamlisch for the 1973 film, the score centres on favourites such as The Entertainer and Solace, reframing turn-of-the-century piano music with crisp orchestral colour and irresistible momentum. The album helped spark a major ragtime revival and became a runaway success, winning the Academy Award for Best Original Score and topping charts worldwide. Its appeal lies in the way it made period music feel immediate, witty and commercially irresistible, linking classic American composition to one of cinema’s biggest hits.
