And Rampal gave the flute life...5
People may say that James Galway is the best flutist around, but after hearing his music with a big disappointment, I decided to see what the other master flutist had to offer.

Jean-Pierre Rampal's flute music is, without doubt, the most brilliantly expressed. It is a technical work of art that only a true master flutist can do. His performance is highly expressed through technical mastery. By using complex musical techniques, he gives the flute a magical breath of life more humanly expressed than supposed. Such techniques he uses to make his flute come alive in one of the highest expressions are extremely fast melodic transitions, rigorous articulation, ironic microphonics, and human emotion.

After hearing this album, I put my faith back into flute music. I don't believe Galway should be considered a master flutist alongside Rampal. Rampal's music is flexibile and expressive, while Galway's music is shrill and repetitive. I hope most people will come to realize Rampal's technical beauty in his music.



Wonderful Collection of Flute Masterpieces Played by Master5
One of the greatest flutists plays some of the best flute compositions here collected in a single disc.

From Bach to Mozart to Handel to Ibert and Poulenc, they're all here played by Rampal.

Great addition to any collecter of classical that enjoys flute.

Tremendous5
Jean-Pierre's music is amazing. I have enjoyed it thoroughly. I highly recommend this for any classical music fan.
